No complaints

I will enjoy each and every day of the holiday season.  I caught myself today thinking that I wanted to just go home and put my body on my couch and rest.  Then I realized that I had a night of "extras" to do before I could even go home.  When the stress set in I made myself stop right there and realize that everything I am doing I am choosing to do.  Nobody is making me be this busy... I can say no at any time.  Therefore, I decided right then to enjoy each and every moment of this crazy holiday season and promised myself that I wouldn't complain at all about being busy.  Instead I will make mental reminders daily how blessed I am to have so much to do.   I am fortunate to have a job that allows me to do what I love and offers me multiple opportunities to help others.  I am fortunate to have friends that take up my time and invite me to social events.  I am especially fortunate to have a family to spend time with and to love and be loved by.  I am fortunate that my health  allows me to enjoy all of these things. Why... I would be crazy to complain about being busy.  Each moment... each interaction with somebody special in my life will be cherrished and appreciated. It's going to be a great holiday season.  I feel it in my bones.
