I remember when I was very young, my father used to listen to Nat King Cole. This song was one of our favourites this time of year. I hope you enjoy.

Here are some lovely quotes that I recently found which really mean something to me:

Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree. In the eyes of children, they are all 30 feet tall.

~Larry Wilde, The Merry Book of Christmas

Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love!

~Hamilton Wright Mabie

Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself…

~Norman Wesley Brooks, “Let Every Day Be Christmas,” 1976

This time last year, GetFreeWebDesigns.com launched as the newest open source web design community and it now houses over 570 free XHTML template designs.

Today, almost a year later, a new public forum has been added to the site and now visitors can join in the discussions.

Learn and discuss web design topics such as HTML, XHTML, CSS, PHP and other programming languages, as well as comment about specific templates. There’s also a classified section to offer or request web design or programming services.

I am quite certain that in no time this forum will be very active and it will be very interesting to watch it grow. GFWD is the 4th open source community that I’ve been a been part of and a lot of the core members have stuck together through all kinds of ups and downs to continue sharing our knowledge and our work with the world.

We hope to see you there.

“Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.”

It really is. I mean I have the worst time managing mine. Before I know it, it’s like bed-time for most folks and I don’t feel like I’ve accomplished anything.

Meanwhile, if the truth be told, I’m way too hard on myself. I’m a mother, a housekeeper, an artist and an entrepreneur, and friend to a few…not necessarily in that order. But do you see what I mean?

Something’s gotta give which is why I had to publicly post about my vacation goals. I had to let the universe know my intentions so that it can in turn guide me to the best way to achieve them!

So back to my time…I never seem to have enough of it. My days and nights fly by. I spend many a night falling asleep at this computer and that is taking it’s toll on this ole’ body of mine.

So I’m going to have to let some things slide a little longer. Like housework. Surely my real friends don’t care if there are a few extra dust bunnies in my home?

And as of this writing, I’m assigning myself a new curfew. I will shut down earlier at night and get some more rest. I know that is my biggest problem. Being sleep deprived makes me lose focus and that’s how mistakes are made or accidents happen.

Tomorrow’s another day so goodnight, world.
