Well here I go again, it’s been like three weeks since my last post. I’d like to say things are on track but they are not, although I am taking steps again to ensure that 2023 will be more productive.

So how did the past month go? I had declared early on that I wanted to have a laid back cozy Holiday in December, but that never happened. Work was busy and frustrating, my weekends were also busy, and the closer I got to Christmas the worse things got which included a death in the family and a couple of other unrelated family emergencies.

In the end, all our plans were derailed, we even had to make a last-minute trip out of state for the funeral of our loved one and our cozy laid back Christmas ended up being a chaotic week. Although, things are now settling down a bit there are a few things that I am still grateful for this Christmas.

First, while we are saddened by the death of our family member it made me appreciate all of the good memories we made together.

Second, Some friends that became sick over the holiday are struggling but are on the mend.

And Third, although our plans did change we sis have a quiet and relaxing Christmas at home with family.

What we need to realize is that even though things can seem bleak it is our own positive mindset that will not allow the negative moments to take root within ourselves.

Now that the Holidays are over I am looking ahead to 2023 but that will be another post.
