I opted to stay home alone tonight for a solo Christmas Eve. It was surprisingly very nice and I enjoyed the quiet time. I actually worked for a few hours this morning and then joined my mom and sister in the afternoon where we made 5 different batches of Christmas cookies and 2 cakes. I’m looking forward to having Christmas cookies with coffee tomorrow which is one of my most favorite things.
I came home in the late afternoon and decided to make myself a nice dinner of seared scallops with steamed veggies and a glass of champagne. Again... no sadness.... it was actually quite the opposite. Progress! The lack of sadness/ depression catches me off guard sometimes.
I guess when you are in the thick of the mess, it feels like you are going to stay stuck in that emotional state forever. We know it’s not true, but it’s almost impossible to imagine feeling any other way. Thank goodness for time.... it all gets better in time.
However you choose to celebrate this holiday season, I wish you an abundance of joy and peace... today and every day.
