Watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition always, always, always makes me cry. At least 3 times.
I think it is the most beautiful thing... giving people a beautiful and functional place to live, making home a haven that they never imagined their finances could afford. The show's over and I want to cry again.

It's inspiring.... the whole "you may encounter many defeats, but do not be defeated" thing.

As life's moving faster and we're having more responsibilities, more people depending on us, more of us depending on ourselves, we're encountering more and more defeats. But we need to realize that we can still grow from them, can still come out of it all.

A lot of these days are heartbreaking, but what more can we do but try to make good out of our situations? I hope everyone has a happy holidays... you may not have gifts to give or receive, you may not even have a home to put a tree up, but enjoy it with the people you love, that love you.

I love all of you. Thank you for your love.
