Time has flown by and I am finding it hard to believe that Christmas is just 11 days away. I am in no way ready for it. We haven't even begun to decorate the house. We haven't begun our Christmas baking. We are just not recognizing the passing of the days.
When did life become so busy that I stopped enjoying the season that I love so much. I have no clue what to get my children and grand children. Some of those gifts I have to mail. Well I do have one daughter done but not one of the ones I need to mail.
I have been listening to Christmas music since Thanksgiving. I am currently listening to past Christmas Devotionals and yet I feel no sense of urgency to the upcoming holiday.
Maybe that is the point. I am simply enjoying the things about the Holiday that I love while I can. I am not getting caught up in trying to do more than I can do. We have deer to process before baking can commence. We need to build shelves before I can decorate. Work has us all working long hours. We will get ready for the holiday but when we can and not in a hurried rush and flurry of activities that leave us stressed and unhappy.
Learning to accept that we have limitations and accepting those limitations is part of living a healthy life.
