Don't Be Overwhelmed...
That's easy to say, but doing it is another matter!
This is the beginning of the holidays;
Make some decisions now to really enjoy them.
By doing things in a less extravagant way.
Being intentional and enjoying the process and not
Worrying about the final results.
I for one can say you can stop spending a lot of money,
and avoiding stress!
Make it sweet and peaceful!
I would rather do one thing well and not try to do everything!
Pick something that is meaningful to you;
And something you enjoy doing!
Make it real...
We do not have to be like the Norman Rockwell paintings!
Realize that so much is commercialized!
Take time and do the little things!
The stores are mobbed!
So many food items may even go to waste!
Don't get sucked into the Insatagram or Pinterest photos and ideas!
Remind yourself, we still may have some very hard times ahead of us!
Stop the crazy train...
Do what is in your heart...
Reserve your strength...
Count the cost...
Will it create good memories...
Will it be relevant in a months time?
Enjoy it with those you love and care for...
~Be Calm And Carry On~
Blessings & Grace
Hugs, Roxy
Is the outdoor picture the home of Lady Lydia?
ReplyDeleteYes, it is! She is a darling friend...
DeleteVery good advice Roxy. We have similified Christmas a lot this year. Most of it is handmade by me. Socks for the adult children and ornaments that I cross-stitched and personalized for everyone. Embroidered dish towels, knitted sweaters, etc. I find it's much more meaningful to me than just going to the store to purchase something that anyone can buy.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, full of God's blessings,
Love and blessings,
Betsy
Yes, all true. I spent my morning chatting with my insurance agent looking for less expensive health insurance. Something has to give! Thank you for the good advice and the timely reminder to count the cost and to ponder if it will matter in a month. Have a blessed Thanksgiving. 🦃
