'JUST BEING'

I can't believe it's THREE WEEKS since I last wrote a blog post!....all I can say is that life has been hectic but, in the main, fun! There's been too much  lots of eating, drinking and generally making merry  (not to mention lots of hard work to make most of it happen-and not just on my part) and I've enjoyed every minute of it!

just a taste of what I've been up to...I even got to go to a Xmas performance

 in one of the schools we have supported..I didn't understand most of it, but it was wonderful!

However, Friday was my last 'commitment' and now I can focus on our Christmas i.e. our family Christmas......the one where I can relax and enjoy 'just being'.....just sitting looking at the lights on the Christmas trees....listening to Christmas music.....watching cheesy movies......all of it knowing that even if my girl isn't actually in the room with me, she's in the house somewhere...and knowing that Craig is going to be here by Christmas Eve!...it's a good feeling, believe me.

I know there's still shopping to do....and wrapping...and general household chores....but if it doesn't happen exactly as I plan, it's not affecting anyone else's plans or expectations...only mine...and I admit to my expectations (of myself) being too high at times- but by this morning I feel as though it's time to focus on 'just being' and to accepting that Christmas doesn't have to be perfect- just meaningful and as happy as you can  make it.

Whatever the next few days bring, try to find time for 'just being' and enjoy the season....I'm hoping for another post before the day itself, but 'just being' might get in the way!

In case I DON'T get back.....I hope you and yours enjoy a peaceful, happy and blessed Christmas!

Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you
