The holidays are challenging. We love the idea of being with family. Friends. Normal Rockwell made a huge impression on us.
We also want to make it an enjoyable one. We hold the moment because we know it will be a while until we are together again. But depending on the cast of characters involved it can be an intense time. So many family OBLIGATIONS, doing things with people we don't want to be with in the first place. Then the aftermath of how empty so many feel because we Norman Rockwell it. We are good students.
Holidays for me are just about being with family. It was lovely. Hectic. Loud.- It is hard to find the quiet within some times. We are used to doing things our way. Having peaceful thoughts. Not being an automaton. We wonder how we got so far away from ourselves. We also do not want to hurt anyone's feelings so we suck it all up. We are glad to have Tums on hand.
My little space in the universe is quiet now and I am grateful. They are grateful for theirs. Until we meet again.
