Sometimes weeks come & go but bad days last forever! This is sometimes true for me in my mind--the sick part!
I am resigned to the fact that some days are just bad! I know I can start my day over but sometimes I just don't want to. I want to wallow in the sickness of it; you know what I mean? I haven't gotten over a bad day until I tell someone about it which I did yesterday. It involves shopping in the bigger cities I guess. We live in a small town & the nearest cities are pretty far away. The drive is nice so it is worth it most of the time. Bless those who can handle the traffic & craziness that goes on this time of year! I am also resigned to the fact that I am going to enjoy this Christmas without my mother who is 900 miles away this year. I am thrilled because I let her ruin my holiday last year. That is right she didn't ruin my day single-handedly--I let her! I hope she has a great time, really I do! My hubby & I are spending time alone with each other. We will enjoy it immensely I think.
Bless everyone who spends time with "sick" family members--we all have them but we don't have to let them ruin this wonderful time of year.
