almost ready......

We are almost ready for Christmas. I am looking forward to a day at home with the kids and Dave. We are planning on making some treats and watching movies....just hanging out together. Just a few more things to do, then can enjoy myself.

Peace

I said a couple of heart felt prayers thanking God for all that I have. This simple act brought a feeling of peace and made it easier to see the humor in things. Why didn't I think of that before? I know that I have a great support system in friends and family, but I forget the spiritual support that is there whenever I need it. Sometimes I just need a little reminder. Thanks guys :)

Bah humbug!

I usually love this time of year, but as my 34th birthday approaches, I find myself in a funk. I am tired of trying to look at the bright side. This is usually something that is like second nature to me. I feel a little disoriented. I know things will get better. I have faith that I will not be given anything I can't handle. I just feel like being depressed. I don't know how else I can say it.

I hope that I can get out of this before too long so that I can enjoy the Holidays. And, as I type that, I know part of my funk is due to the holidays. I am frustrated about how commercial Christmas has gotten and this battles with the guilt of wanting to give the kids a great Christmas. I want the holiday to be about family and sharing time together and not about the price tag, but I feel pressure to make it more than that.

Any suggestions?
