Time to refocus…
Give a whole lot of Thanks.
When my kids were young and we lived in a rather remote location, I found a homeschooling community online. It was wonderful to have ‘adult’ conversation during the day, even though it was all written communication. The funniest thing though–I remember a lot of the ladies mentioning taking from Thanksgiving to Christmas off from formal schooling with their littlest children since the kids got lots of informal school writing Christmas cards, doing math during baking, etc.
I thought this was the most extraordinary thing. Take off from mid-october to Dec 25? Crazy! Then I realized they were taking about US Thanksgiving to December 25, which isn’t as insane as it sounds.
But let's go a step farther. We've been busy lately, really busy, right? And there are moments of frustration that sneak in a make us want to throw up our hands or sit down and have a good cry. I challenge you to stop for just a minute and make a Thankful List. Fifteen things in Fifteen minutes or less. What are you thankful about this year? From the BIG picture down to the littler things. because it’s tough to be stressed over what’s happening in our lives while we’re being thankful for what’s happening in our lives.

So many good things! Thanks for sharing.
There are so many things I am thankful for, but most important is that I’m still here. The fire this past summer could have been so much worse, and I’m so thankful we all (even the cat) made it out of there. I’m thankful we still have a home, that I have a job, and that all of my family is healthy and safe. And I’m especially thankful that getting hit by a car didn’t sidekine during the busy holiday season. Most of all, I’m thankful that this year is nearly over, and hope that next year has much less drama for everyone.
Have the best Holiday ever!
You have tons to be thankful for, and I sure hope you put in for a little less stressful 2012!
