You know the magical feeling you get around the holidays? The one when you are in line at a store, and someone behind you seems to be in a hurry, and you think, oh what the heck, they can go in front of me. The one where you just feel like smiling at everyone who passes by. I wish that feeling would last all year long. We're always so happy around that special time of year, and when it's over, we go back to our daily routines, and we're crabby again. Don't we realize how happy we are? Why don't we stay that way? Don't we want to be happy? I know I sure do. I hope to try to remain cheerful all year. I want to feel that warm feeling all year long.

I just hope I'm not the only one with this wish. That would make it very hard.
