So This is Christmas.....And a Happy New Year!



Whew! Holidays are over! Anyone else feeling sad and excited at the same time? This year I realize that I’ve spent way too many holidays being sad, and stressed, and emotional. I’m over it. Done. Finished.  Any of you struggle with taking a few moments to actually be in the moment? Anyone get caught up in sad memories, instead of happy? Or what about those of you who worry so much about pleasing and accommodating others that you lose sight of what really matters? (Here you can insert a picture of me waving my hand wildly in the air, pick me! Pick me!)

'Tis the season? How about those of you who stress over an extensive Christmas checklist? Cookies –check. Presents – check. Christmas Eve service – check. Christmas lights – check. Drama – check. Tears – check.  Wine – check. Hard liquor – ch….wait, what?
