Christmas holidays are always a mix of blessings and struggles for me and this one was no different. I occasionally got things all sorted out in my head, only to lose them again. I spent more days overeating than not, but only had one day of the two weeks that I was totally lost in the darkness. Most days I got outside for a while and to the pool. I spent lots of time with the kids which was awesome. All in all, it was fine.
It seems bizarre to have celebrated my sons 40th birthday. The girls helped me put together 4 poster boards of pictures for Jason, which he loved. We had Emily's 10th and Tim's 34th as well, and Grace's is coming up soon. I also managed to squeeze in a short visit with Stella when she came to Guelph.
So tomorrow is back to work and routine, which will help. I made a pot of soup today and I have some salad stocked in the fridge. I've learned, again, not to spend too much time alone. I will certainly forget it again, but I'm still putting one foot in front of the other. I'm grateful for my blessings.
Love, elly
