Sigh . . .

A stressful day today - I'm finding it difficult to get into the holiday spirit - but feel compelled to buck up and get started with decorating and purchasing, etc.

I have Christmas cards (if I get them addressed and mailed!!) and I've gotten some gifts but there are more to get - DOUBLE SIGH!!  


Today is World Aids Day 2009.  I never thought I would

1. see the Berlin Wall come down
2. see the "end" of the Soviet Union
3. see an African-American elected President

and I've seen all those things - so maybe, just maybe I'll see the cure for aids in my lifetime.

Insanity helps!!
