I feel a little stumped, at times, by the question, "How are you?"
It's like a weird mixture of contentment and discontent, as my needs ARE taken care of, but my expectations of where I should be - ugh!

Some times, I find myself wondering, "Did I agree to Vows of Silence, Chastity, and Poverty in a forgotten past?"
I'm probably just not aggressive enough about achieving the things I desire.
Could also be side effects of humility, respect, and loyalty?

Drawing blanks on a "witty, original, 'happy holidays' status update"... And then my punnish side thinks, "hmmm... Maybe a mad-libs status update?"

May your (favorite holiday) be (adjective), (adjective), and (adjective), and may you enjoy it with (adverb) (adjective) (noun)!

Feel free to fill in the blanks however you want, but please share your choices in the comments below... Maybe we might get some good chuckles out of them... :D

I'm grateful that I have a good education, good friends, and good health.
I'm also grateful that I have a job, a place to live, and more freedom than most - but it's easy for me to criticize these because they fall short of my expectations...
( A lot of the time, after the fact, I find that I hate my pessimistic turns - oh, the irony of that! )
May this winter find us all comfortable with where we're at, and who we are, and blessed by unexpected good events!
