Despite everything, I had a very stressful day yesterday. I had an inner turmoil going on. I had lectured myself in my blog yesterday morning. I know this is the storm before the calm. But it didn't help. I stressed beyond reason.
But towards the end of the day, I let it go. I did what I should have initially done. I made a list, prioritized. Looked at it. And realized that it's not bigger than I am. Then I was fine.
As the days go by and we get closer to Christmas, I'll get everything done. Family gatherings will somehow fall into place (having a hard time arranging this year due to everyone's work schedules), and a good time will ultimately be had by all.
Sometimes I am a control freak. I want everything to be just right. I want this to be this way, and that to go that way. I am learning to let go. And just as food is better when cooked by someone else, things are done in wonderful new ways (that I wouldn't have thought of) when I allow others to help.
So, today... I am practicing again. breathe... let it go... breathe... let it go...

Just breath girl. Everything always seems to fall into place regardless of the amount of stress we take on. So, breath and let it go.
:D *Hugs*
...breathe...
Good for you, SIS! Sometimes, we have to force ourselves to let go of the less important things and teach ourselves to only focus on the things that are truly important. The things that our happiness depends on. We cannot change the things that we can't control. All we can do is so our best to deal with them.
*hugs*
