Did you survive Thanksgiving?? I’d forgotten what it felt like to have a food coma, LOL!! There were 11 kids (ages 1 – 14) and 15 adults (ages to remain secret); we outnumbered them but the energy levels are certainly different. It was a blast.
Now we’re into the Holiday mode in preparation for Christmas and all that entails. I’m burning off the calories from that food coma, and probably should burn some extra for round two.
There’s more than two feet of snow on the ground; we’ve officially entered winter/ski season here in the mountains. Burrrrrrr!!
During this time of year, we are around alot more family and friends than normal, there is alot of giving and receiving – mostly good, sometimes not. It’s hard to keep an even keel especially when we might just be overly tired yet trying so hard to be perfect. Toss the perfect.
I read this earlier this morning and it really caused me to stop and reflect. There is no author to attribute it to but this was the notification on the site:
“Someone said to me,
You like taking care of people because it heals the part of you that needed someone to take care of you.
That hit me hard.”
I am not a therapist, but that’s not the first time that I’ve had something similar suggested to me. So as I enter the crazy of the holidaze, I might try something a bit different this year, and really try to meet my needs and take care of my happy. Stay tuned . . .
