I'm finally winding down after a long day. Still not feeling well but a bit better than this morning. Some people have been down for weeks with this (probably the flu) but I have to trudge on.
I'll be at my son's Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Both he and my DIL are drinkers but for some reason, my resolve is stronger when I'm around them. Not sure what that's about. Drinking was never a part of Christmas when my kids were growing up and as they became adults, a bottle of wine with dinner was it.
I just realized (closing in on day 5) Christmas will be Day 7! One of the best gifts I could give myself. I planned on buying a laptop as my gift but I will cherish my day 7.
My heart aches for all the sorrow happening, here and in the world. I've been doing random acts of kindness in December and it does help me feel less sad.
I'll be keeping you all in my thoughts, hoping for comfort and joy for everyone.
