MONDAY BLUES

This time of year is so busy that the weekend does not seem long enough. There is shopping, parties, family get -togethers, wrapping of presents and finishing touches of decorating the house or the tree. Going to work can be difficult as there really was no rest. Then there is whatever work pressure your job entails! Take a deep breath and remember Rome was not built in a day! The season can be joyous without being so stressful. Choose your battles! Don't try to do everything! Actually work may be more relaxing since your focus is on work and not all the other tasks you are facing! Thirteen days until Christmas- really figure out what needs to be done and do it- one thing at a time! As for Monday, it is really only one day in the week and it will soon be time to return home! Are you feeling the pressure of the season? What do you use to calm your energy? Are there people in your life that can help with the chores? If there are do you let them help you?

TIME TO STOP AND SMELL THE FLOWERS

Easter Monday brings a time to clean up, enjoy the memories of a good Easter weekend. Received several bundles of flowers from the girls so am enjoying the wonderful fragrance in the house. Took the day as a vacation day for myself to organize for the weeks ahead and to have a sleepover with my granddaughter, Sophia. Lots of leftovers so no need for cooking. Reflecting on the blessings in my life. Are you taking some time to count your blessings? Do you find the holidays so busy, they may not be enjoyed? Maybe it is good for us to feel tired. It makes us stop the running around and to relax because we are too exhausted to keep running! Enjoy you day!
