Look Up!

I'm sorry for the lack of postage-- wait, that doesn't sound right-- posting, there we go!  It's been a crazy few weeks.  But here we are heading straight into the first week of December and I should be calmer than normal.  I don't have nearly as busy of a calendar as years past.  Should, being the key word.  I haven't been overly anxious but my typical post-holiday depression seems to have come to visit post-Thanksgiving instead of post-Christmas.  It's been a bit of a slog for me lately.

I am trying to focus on the fun of Christmas (instead of the fact that winter seems to have settled in around here--brrr!) in an attempt to shrug off the apathy that is making me feel like I am trudging through mud.  After all, I have a house full of people I love and everyone is well and happy-- plus Christmas with kids is fun!  They get so excited!

So in the interest of being more upbeat, here's a pic to remind me of all the reasons I have to smile:

Happy December everyone!  May your holiday season be filled with calm and joy!
