Christmas Countdown

The first holiday party is under our belts.  Full steam ahead.
This past weekend we spent some quality time with some dear friends, but not without some drama at home first - doesn’t that always happen?  I wake up thinking it’ll be a good day.  But just when we least suspect, something goes awry.  It will take huge efforts from all 5 of us to get back on track (if we even do) and continue the course of the day we had planned.   Fortunately we did make it to our dinner party and we did enjoy our time with our friends.   That is something we’ll be reminding ourselves at every gathering we have.   We will not be distracted from feeling loved & blessed, we will be grateful for every moment we have with the people we love, and we will be happy.

Christmas isn’t my favourite time of year but my children love it.  And they are looking forward to spending time with their cousins.  We always have many special meals and a huge family party.  This year I’ll be hosting dinner for my family - I even bought a turkey!  I’ve always said keeping busy is good - it gives me a purpose - something to look forward to - and right now some family time is exactly what I need.

14 days left to Christmas, 20 days to 2019.

Y.C.
