December 14 – Appreciate What’s the one thing you have come to appreciate most in the past year? How do you express gratitude for it? (Author: Victoria Klein)
Over and over again, every year, I find that I appreciate my family more and more. They are just there! Fiercely loyal and always there. No one would ever have my back like my family. Seriously now... They are just an amazing bunch of people.
I say thank you A LOT! and I also try to do everything that they need from me... something small, something big, I'm trying to make them happy and keep them happy.
I'm blessed. I truly am...

Party: Reverb10
December 9 – Party Prompt: Party. What social gathering rocked your socks off in 2010? Describe the people, music, food, drink, clothes, shenanigans. (Author: Shauna Reid)
I don't go to very many parties. That is not to say that we are not invited, it's just that most times something comes up that makes it where I can't get there. Lame I know but it's the truth. I did go to an awesomely wonderful party this year though. My longtime friend Sarah invited me to our friend's surprise birthday party. I hadn't seen Sarah in a long time and I hadn't seen Daniel and his mom Victoria in even longer so I was going to go to this party. I committed myself and demanded myself to go and hang out with my friends.
It was a Sunday night and it was a little bit warm. Bay Area late summer weather is either awful or beautiful. I get to Fruitvale in Oakland. Already the streets and the sounds are so different than where I live. There is life in the streets and it's beautiful. People walking in the streets, talking, laughing... Get to Sarah's house, she lived behind a tea house and see her and people i hadn't seen in a long time or just meeting for the first time. There is something about meeting people like this. They are beautiful and accepting. Wonderfully welcoming. It's a great feeling. The house is warm and full of laughter and the smells of carne asada, salsa, guacamole and beer. Reminders of home... Daniel arrived with his mom and it was heavenly! He looked great, Vicky looked great and the smiles on everyone's faces only showed how much love there was in that house. Hugging La V was the best. She gives these really great hugs. They last long after she lets go...
The party was a success. Daniel was pleasantly surprised and I was amazingly happy...
