The calm after the storm.

It’s a special time when we can all come together to be together. To stop and pause. To be again as we once were when we were children.

But it’s also a lot, People.

There were no arguments these last few days. No tense moments. There weren’t even any tears. It was all around just a wonderful time in the sharing of this wonderful life that we’ve been gifted with.

Yet. Still. I’m exhausted. Drained. Maybe it’s the introvert in me. Needing to retreat to calm waters. Not have to deal with anyone or anything or be anywhere or have anything expected of me.

So today, today is my time to reset. And to set good intentions for these next four weeks that will compromise our holiday season.

My main goal is to simply enjoy my family. Not get caught up in the gifts and gift buying and the stuff but for the real gift to be the time I get to spend with those I cherish.

That’s what it’s all about.
