Christmas

Christmas was perfect. I received a huge dose of gratitude- for family  that support and love us even though we live far away, for thoughtful gifts, for prayer, for my kids and husband that bring meaning into my life, and for blessings upon blessings, upon blessings.

This Christmas break has been a re-set of sorts.  It has been relaxing, satisfying, and a chance to recharge, and reconnect. The past months have been discouraging,  a little lonely, stressful, and a drag.  After 5 nauseous months of pregnancy the week of Christmas came around and the nausea magically disappeared.  I finally feel like myself! (plus a baby bump)  I feel recharged for the New Year, inspired, and ready for good things to come.

Watching kids opening presents was a thrill.
