is it just me or do most people feel that this time of year is stacked with unrealistic expectations that never live up to our ideals?……we go through the motions of what we’re expected to do almost without a thought…..full of anxiety…..praying it was over….never taking a moment to see what it is really supposed to be about…..
this year, no expectations….no tree….no lights….no going crazy about gifts…..just spending time with those I care about…..
I’m older now, most of my blood relatives are gone, so now I have mostly the family I chose….I have wonderful memories of holidays past and some not so pleasant as well…now I can choose to try and recreate them or go with new ones…I choose the latter.
now some say I’m being “grinchy” about the decorating, but it’s my choice….maybe if there were children around I’d feel differently, but there aren’t and I don’t…
