It’s a beautiful morning, still dark and quiet, this first day of the last month of an incredible year. I’ve been struggling a bit lately but I’m not letting it get me down and I’m getting through it with a little help from my friends: Eric, of course; positive, encouraging posts that have come through my Instagram feed; tools I’ve learned in therapy; and, my own inner resolve. The house is all decorated for Christmas, which makes me so happy, and I actually slept pretty well last night (at least for me). The holiday season is upon us, Maddie’s first, and I’m looking forward to another couple weeks of downtime this month. As I sit here alone with my thoughts, I’m going to commit to being more in the present—what’s the current buzz-term? “Mindful,” I think—this month, and not dwell so much on the past or worry so much about the future. I need to get back to chanting, as well. It truly has been an incredible year, and I want to end it on a strong note and start the new one refreshed and recharged. Right now, though, it's a beautiful, quiet morning, and I am happy to be alive.
