Hello everyone and happy Monday! ♥
I hope you all had a nice weekend! Hard to believe there is only one more weekend until Christmas. I am doing my best to keep up with things without driving myself crazy.
There was a moment last week where I took a deep breath and realized if things are not the same this year, well....that's OK. We will survive! And we are surviving : )
Thank you all so much for messaging me and checking in on us during this time. My mother is doing better (prayers answered!). She's been moved to a rehab hospital for physical and occupational therapy. Unfortunately she'll be there for a few more weeks, but the important part is she WILL come home. Our Christmas will be slightly postponed....but again...that's OK!
To be honest I'm getting used to the idea of a simpler holiday. Once I allowed myself to do that, I felt better. I'm focusing on John, friends, family, spending time with people, taking care of myself, and less time on running around, fighting crowds, and spending loads of money. I saw this on Facebook the other day and it really spoke to me....
It's so true! ♥
I hope you all have a wonderful week! I will be drinking lots of hot chocolate, wrapping a few gifts, enjoying the lights on my Christmas tree, and watching Christmas movies with my family... all with a heart full of gratitude.
Love you all! xx
PS. did you know that my mom has the prettiest window sill in the hospital?
Well, she does ♥
Plant "cut and come" vegetables. Plants such as loose-leaf lettuce and broccoli will continue to furnish you with a small harvest every week over an extended period of time. Simply pick what you need and let the plant do the rest. The more you pick, the more it will produce!

Warm up to reduce stress. Rub your hands together quickly until they feel warm. Once they are warm, put them over your closed eyes for about five seconds and breathe deeply. The darkness and the warmth work together to be comforting and help take some of your stress away.

Do not turn to alcohol to try and reduce stress. Alcohol may make you feel better for a short period of time, but it is actually a depressant. This means that you will move right past that good feeling and actually feel worse than you did before you began drinking.
