I haven't posted much since Thanksgiving. I just haven't had much to say, and I suppose that's a good thing. Reading back over my posts, I see a definite pattern of posting when my angst is at its best.
Back around Thanksgiving, I was sure I was facing a perfectly miserable holiday season. Between Thanksgiving, my birthday, Christmas, and New Year's...I was fairly certain I'd drag myself through these events with dread and depression. Thank goodness that has not happened! The day after Thanksgiving was a little edgy, and I missed my husband terribly over my birthday, but things have otherwise been pretty smooth sailing.
I'm enjoying all the activity and chaos around the holiday. Here we are 4 days to Christmas and I haven't done the bulk of my shopping. But that's just fine. I'm looking forward to baking cookies, plowing through the stores, feasting with friends on Christmas Eve, and resting and reflecting on a peaceful Christmas Day.
Life isn't so bad.
