And that brings me to what I want to say about the holidays. Sometimes, it's better to save your energy for what's really important--family.
Maybe you'll make some homemade gifts this year--maybe you won't. But if making everything "just right" comes at the price of missing time with family or even worse--becoming Grinchy toward your loved ones, then it's time to throw in the towel. I'm totally preaching to myself here. I wish I could say I'm just a pleasure to be around all of the time, but that's not the truth. Especially today.
Anywhoo, I'm taking this time to sit back, sip a cup of apple cider and reflect. During this festive season, I think rather than overbooking ourselves and wearing ourselves thin (though I usually wear myself more thick than thin during the holidays, dang you delicious food) we ought to sit back and enjoy more. Love more, stress less. Hug more, shop less.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Oh, and tune in tomorrow for some real awesomeness from Sarah of Sarahndipities.
Much love,
Tristin
Love ya Tdawg. Thanks for keeping it real. :)
ReplyDeleteGood for you. I had an epiphanous (totally a real word) moment the other day as I was crocheting a gift for my little Forrest . . . while trying to push him away when he kept pulling the yarn off my lap and trying to climb up. MOTHER OF THE YEAR.
ReplyDeleteI find that I do that, too. I try to do too much at the expense of my family. This year, I want to make gifts for my girls and my husband. Everything else is just sugar on top and I will not stress about it! Thanks for reminding us what we know we should do!
ReplyDeleteMy post is coming later, btw! Ha! I didn't forget. Glad that you are in my shoes and can offer up some understanding!

토토 value the article post.Thanks Again. Really Great.
ReplyDeleteIt was a part of fun for me to know about the 12 Days of Christmas series, and then when I read about Tristin I was very surprised by her writing experience and the article I think she is an expert writer at a renowned eBook ghostwriting company. I said that because I know their services are awesome and they help their customers improve their writing skills.
ReplyDeleteTristin’s journey on Day 2 sounds insightful! It’s often the quiet moments that bring clarity. Just like maintaining the FinCEN BOI database, staying organized helps in achieving long-term goals. Keep going!
