Sad again... I wish I was on a beach in CA...soaking up the sun. Don't get me wrong...I love it up here in the snow... there is a peacefulness...& time of reflection. This time of year I just have to wing it...smile & suck it up! So now that I have exhausted myself I will wrap myself w love & gentleness. If I am able get outside of myself. Maybe watch a movie that I have seen before on Hallmark channel. A festive one. With a good message. Miss the family moments but know that the big day w people who don't have many choices on places to go. I am going to church where they have a meal & good fellowship. I am not sure if we will have our Wednesday meeting or just skip it.
Whatever we do I will be grateful & not ruin the day for anyone else w my sadness. Actually could I really do this? I have no power! God is in charge. I will let him make the plan. & do the next right thing. I am in it for the long haul. Bless you all!
Love that you're processing out loud and committed to God being in charge....keep doing the next right thing and this shall pass! My parents are here for almost 2 weeks and the count down is on - 9 days to go after today.....
I love them dearly but I am already missing my bed and my safe-place (my bedroom). They are lovely and great guests and reasonably happy folks, so I am grateful as it could be so much worse! But, I am also getting excited for getting my room, my schedule and my patterns/life back to my normal!!
(((Hugs))) - I am going to my meeting tomorrow and looking forward to it!!
