Snow Queen was a hard one to come up with living on the east coast. The weather has been beautiful, but I'm not looking forward to the frigid weather. My semester is done. I received an A in my class which is great, butI wish I had learned more. All my fault. I did the assignments but I didn't let it soak in like I wish I had. I will do better next semester. I get to relax all the way to the second week of January. I plan to enjoy every minute,
What's been on my mind is that I'm still not active on the transplant list. I need to see an endocrine surgeon and haven't heard back from the department that is supposed to connect me with them. I am going to have to get pushy and that's not in my nature to do. This journey is changing me, but I have to do what I have to do. I know it will work out. I just feel a sense of urgency to be active on the list and to have surgery if I need it, before I would need to be on dialysis. I'm guessing some of you have felt a sense of urgency to get on the transplant list. It's a frustrating feeling to know it is out of your hands and the only thing you can do is hurry up and wait.
I have decided to make a craft and give a portion of the sales to kidney disease research. It's such a small thing, but if I can sell any of the item I will do this. I always want to give back, I just never seem to be able to find a way to do it. I'm not even sure this will work and I have no inventory yet, but I've always been an artsy one, it brings me a sense of peace. I've been looking for a Queenly side hustle too. 
lol. Now you might ask what the heck is a Queenly side hustle, and your guess is as good as mine, but it sounds good.
I hope everyone is enjoying the season and doing something they love with those who they love. I remember when I was in the rehab hospital for my spinal cord injury during a holiday and a man kept coming by my room. I don't remember seeing his family. I wish I had been more kind to him. I wasn't mean, I was frustrated being in there and wanted to be left alone. Maybe talking to him would have brightened both our spirits. I'll never know, but going forward I'm going to do my best to have a heart of kindness.
I think it's not only the season to be merry but the season to be kind.
Happy Holidays-
Snow Queen
