Doing



Doing now:

* Watching as little news as possible because it makes my heart ache
* Enjoying the presence of my family
* Trying to finish that last hand made gift
* Blocking....lots of blocking
* Fighting the annual Christmas cold that my mother just had to share
* Still trying to figure out what to get two wonderful boys for Christmas...some gifts bought but can't find "the" gift
* Trying to deal with holiday stress in a productive way...suggestions?
* Feeling thankful for how truly blessed I am

Here's hoping you and yours have a wonderful Holiday Season. I'll be poking my head in periodically, but I will be spending most of my time now, in these moments, holding onto what keeps me whole.  I hope you have that with you as well. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers for a Joyous Season and you have everything you need and hold dear.

  4. Did you give me my cold? :-) I'm on the mend, with just some residual congestion. We had a nice luncheon today. I'll likely put up a blog post tomorrow. I'm plum tuckered out.

    Enjoy those guys of yours.

  5. Good luck finding "the gift" it gets harder as they get older. At least for me! I hope you don't get that cold and that you do have a lovely holiday with your kids!!!

  8. Maybe you can shake off that cold in time to enjoy Christmas! I hope you feel better.

    It is hard to avoid the stress this time of year, but I bought fewer things, and that helped. Fewer gifts to chase=less hectic head space. Also, I'm trying to take 5 minutes each day and just sit and think about what we have, not what is going wrong/the bad in the world/problems I need to fix. I am truly blessed, and sometimes I just need a few minutes to reconnect with that.

    Have a very merry Christmas!
