Dear Santa-
This year, what I'd really like is the ability to finish that one last paper and get that degree I've been working for before my life got derailed. Also, I'd like you to give my sister peace, since being a full time mom and a full time student seems like an incredibly tough gig.
Also, would you please give my mother some peace-she seems to need it too. And will you give my stepdad and my brother whatever it is they each need too, while you're at it?
See, Santa, I've been thinking....I have enough stuff. I don't need any more fancy contraptions or clothing. What I need-what everyone seems to need these days-is peace. Peace of mind, body, and spirit.
I need to stop feeling frantic that I am personally responsible for global warming, for the wars across the world, and for people being obsessed with shallow problems. I need to stop believing that somehow I am less amazing or less deserving than someone else because I didn't follow this year's fashion trends or buy the most efficient hybrid vehicle or whatever it is I'm supposed to be doing.
So Santa....if you wouldn't mind parking your sleigh this year and doling out peace, tranquility, and love, that'd be great.
kthx!
