We pulled our kids out of school two weeks before the Christmas break (which officially starts today). Was it the right call?

I DON’T KNOW.

Do we have a plan for after the holidays? PLEASE SEE ABOVE.

I am just trying to breathe and be in the moment and not feel as though I have to have the next six months planned out.

As I take time to reflect on the events of this past year, it’s almost startling to think of all the change and growth and fear and anxiety and beauty and togetherness and recalibration it held.

I’m ready to hunker down, eat a LOT of cheese, watch way too many movies and let this Christmas wash over me.

This made me smile:

And in case you missed it, or didn’t see it when I posted it on Facebook a few weeks ago, this song is magic. It helps you enter in to some Feelings and go through the tunnel of emotion and come out the other side feeling a little lighter, a little more hopeful.

In less than thrilling news, I am somehow nursing a hip injury and it hurts to do pretty much everything. I have had to take a break from my long, therapeutic walks and now instead have to spend my time procrastinating about doing physio stretches. #thisis38

I came across this poem again today and it’s still just what I need to be reminded of. It’s been an anchor for me this year:

Happy start of Xmas Break, friends. We can DO THIS. Stay safe and healthy!
