Just popping in to reassure you that you can and will make it through the holidays. You may even enjoy them!
Last year I had my first holidays without Mr. Kara around. Right around Thanksgiving we had an argument and the tension was so thick that while I was sad at where we had gotten to I was also was relieved when he went away for the holidays. Know what? I had a great Christmas. I got a makeover, a new haircut,treated myself to some new clothes, went to parties, decorated the house, tried new recipes. I resolved not to sit at home and mope, so I invited friends over and I accepted ivitations. I rang in the New Year peacefully at church thanking God for bringing me that far. It was a good time for me and in a strange way one of my best Christmases as it showed me that I had a strength I didn't think I possessed.
This year? I am already planning recipes, decorating, the whole works. I am throwing a big old party too. I am going to spend a little time helping the less fortunate as well.
It is a scary prospect initially and there will be sad moments but you can do it!!!
