Caution! Rambling Thoughts Ahead!
Add random introspective thoughts as another symptom of Holiday stress. Or perhaps this deeper inspection of self has been the result of life (and death) lessons that I’ve been forced to examine these past weeks. Whatever the reason…it really doesn’t matter.
In the days before Thanksgiving my thoughts were centered on how I was going to split dinner between two families, host a leftover party, and deal with coming Holiday stress. In the days after Thanksgiving, I buried another family member and once again came face to face with the grief that I’ve been running from for 7 years.
For me time spent dwelling on my behavior before Thanksgiving, just yields more wasted time. It doesn’t matter if some twit is sucking on a whip cream can or if your family is driving you mad. What does matter is the time that unfolds us. If we take care of those moments, the years will take care of themselves. Enjoy them.
