Life and Holidays are not always a Norman Rockwell painting. She warned us how people get down during that time of the year. She said with age, it can be easier to get down. As I age....I see what she meant.......The magic of Christmas as a child is long gone. The commercialism of Christmas can beat you down. But, for me, my BIGGEST issue is sooooooo many people in my life have passed away in recent years. I have to say, I had a hard time with that this year. BUT.....As I dealt with the absence of so many, I thought of what my Mom would say. Let the sweet memories override the pain. It was quite the battle for me this year. As you guys know, I am almost TOO nostalgic. My memory of my youth is almost scary vivid. I found myself thinking back a LOT and then bummed think just how long ago things were.
My advice to anyone who gets down? SIMPLIFY!!
