I was writing my Christmas cards last night as we watched yet another year of “The Grinch” and I had this epiphany that ready or not Christmas is right around the corner. I started to stress myself out with thoughts of the shopping still to be done, the dinner menu for all the guests, the tree, the decorations, etc…and finally just had to take a moment and really focus on the importance of this holiday season. Yes, all those things are wonderful and yes, I do hope that I get to every single one of them. But for me, the best part of all is the family and friends and the fun to come.  That’s the part that I can’t wait for and I reminded myself that these are the reasons that I love this season so much.  I am truly blessed in my life and sometimes need to remind myself to slow down and recognize these gifts and realize my limitations and to be ok with it.
