Well, now that it is November, I will be getting a year older soon. I certainly don't feel older. Time marches on.
Are you getting ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas? Have you started your to do lists and Christmas lists and food lists and party lists and so on and so on............ It is no wonder this holiday season is full of so much stress. Everyone wants to do the right thing and purchase the correct present for that special someone, and have everything be super yummy at the dinner table or that party. Been there, done that. As time goes by, you learn how to shop all year long when you can, to make easy recipes for family and friends and to slow down. It is much nicer now than it was years ago. Looking back I could probably kick myself for stressing out so much and not enjoying the holiday season. Nothing is more important than the love of family and friends. Be sure to spend as much time as possible with loved ones and take lots of pictures. And don't forget to take care of yourself. Take a time out every day. Even if only for five minutes. Take a bubble bath. Eat a piece of incredibly rich chocolate. Have a mimosa with breakfast if you want to. Give yourself a little treat. De-stress daily.
I am going to enjoy the upcoming holiday as much as possible. I wish the same for you.
Happy Holiday Season!!
I am going to try to keep stress to a minimum. *try*
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean! I am going to try this year not get too stressed. We really miss the true meaning of the Holidays when we are too busy and stressed. You are so right that family is so important and I plan to center my time on them. Happy Holiday Season to you too!
