These days, I find myself doing deep breathing more frequently than usual.
One must develope a clear perspective.
Unless the stove is on fire, nothing has to be done immediately.
Yes, there are Christmas cards to write out, address, stamp, and send.
Yes, there are gifts piling up that need to be wrapped and have tags to recipients placed on them.
Yes, there is cleaning to do.
Yes, and yes, and yes, but nothing is earth-shattering if it doesn't get done in the time frame one has in mind.
Yes, remember to be good to yourself.
Sit and look at Christmas tree lights and manger scenes.
Think about why the season is celebrated.
It's a lot more than rush, rush, rush to buy gifts or plan parties.
If a nice cup of chocolate pudding with cream and pecans on top, sounds inviting, make it, sit with it, savor it, and relax.
Everything will get done on time and, if not, it's okay. Fa la la la la.
