We talked about not getting a tree this year but instead ended up with a 14 footer😂.
As we approach the last few days prior to the holiday season, many of us find ourselves running around in a bit of a tizzy & feeling a little worn out!
I encourage you to find some time to attempt to slow it down just a wee bit & take in the little bits of magic this season presents to us.
It is a time to gather with family & loved ones.
It is a time to extend a little more kindness.
It is a time to practice a little more patience.
It is a time to spread a little joy.
May the holiday season find you surrounded in the warmth of all you hold dear and may the prospect of a brand new year inspire you with a renewed sense of possibility.
I hope to be writing a little more in 2019. Thank you for continuing to read, to share your thoughts & to offer your words of encouragement & support.
Hugs,
L❤️

Happy Holidays to you too and it’s nice to see you!
Lovely to see you as well Lloyd! Happy Holidays to you & yours!
Good advice. We’ll run as slowly as we can.
Ha! I am picturing you & your family now all running in slow motion!
Wishing you and your family a lovely peaceful holiday season and a happy, healthy and adventurous 2019. It has been so wet here I think we will have to start building another ark!!

Thank you Jude! Oh dear, I do hope the rain lets up a bit for you. We are waiting on snow here so that we can get some skiing in!
Wishing you a lovely holiday, and the very best in the new year. 2019 May bring me to your part of the world, will keep you posted!
Lynn these are wise words and ones I am taking to heart this year. For the first time in decades I don’t feel stressed heading into the season. My focus is only on how to create more joy and fun through these special times. I’ve gotten rid of the ‘should dos’ and am only on the ‘what brings happiness dos’. Not sure why it took to my late fifties to figure that out.sending big hugs and heartfelt wishes for the best of the season and in 2019.
Sue, it’s funny how it takes us so long to learn such simple things, isn’t it? I think there is so much hype around this holiday to somehow create this magical & perfect experience, often resulting in stress & disappointment. I love that you are embracing joy & fun as the primary focus this year. I hope to do the same.
Thank you for your friendship, your support & adding some very good advice to this piece. Wishing you, Dave & your family the very best over the holidays!
Very good advice! Merry Christmas!
Thanks Ann. Merry Christmas ti you & yours!
Thank you, Lynn. A fourteen footer, huh…:)
I hope you and your loved ones have a wonderful and blessed Christmas. Stay well.
My husbands selection George! Wishing you & your family the very best over the holiday season. Thank you for dropping by!
Christmas can be so stressful… your advice is thus very pertinent. That means some of our expectations have to be let go…. in the meantime, Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much Constantino. I hope you had a lovely Christmas!
I hope you had a great Christmas season. All the best in 2019.
Thank you Nelson! We had a wonderful Christmas season. Wishing you the very best in 2019!
