If you are like me, the holidays are never a time to sit around the tree and sip cocoa, instead it is a mad dash to purchase presents, attend the company party, pay all the year end bills and try to tie everything up, travel here and there, decorate and get glitter all over the place, including all over my dogs, only to find myself a bit burnt out and tired. I caught a cold from one of the nieces or nephews (little petri dishes that they are) during all the holiday get togethers so here I am at home in my robe ringing in the New Year with my dogs at my feet and me at my computer, by the way, I cannot get the glitter off my dog Tommy so at least he looks festive. I admit, I have a wonderful life, a wonderful career, great people in my life, overall great health and I am blessed beyond words in so many ways. I just wish I could slow the holidays down a bit and actually get to enjoy them, really be in the moment rather than running from place to place. I am a holiday human do’er not a human being.
So there you go, that is my New Year’s resolution, I know I have said it many times before but practice makes perfect. Maybe this year, 2018, will be the year I slow down and smell the roses. I am actually fortunate enough to have roses growing in my back yard and I rarely take the time to even look at them. They are beautiful and I take them for granted, just like I do my precious life.
So Happy New Year Everyone, may we all have the ability to push forward and succeed in 2018 and still take the time to breath it all in.
