Hate the fact that there will be no white christmas for me this year...
But love the fact that I do not have to spend four hours on icy roads, dying of fright, trying to driving the 10 miles home from work during a snowstorm
Hate the fact that another entire year rushed past before I even realized it...
But love the fact that a long cherished personal goal of mine finally came true this year
Hate that I will not be celebrating the holidays with all my wonderful friends and family
But love the fact that I have such wonderful friends and family to cherish and miss...
