I am trying to make a conscious decision to stay at perfect peace this holiday season. So I thought I would post this Christmas card that I designed. Thanksgiving was hectic and yet so nice. My parents came in from Texas for a week. It was a super visit. The turkey turned out perfect and today I am busy at my desk catching up on work and emails and plotting my holiday schedule for Dec. that includes everything from hockey games to a couple of birthdays and decorating and Christmas shopping. Oh, did I forget about working?! But I think PEACE is the word I will keep foremost in my mind. I really soaked in being surrounded by my family over Thanksgiving and it was great, the mess and cooking did not get to me because I kept thinking "Enjoy all these warm, lovable people in your life right now at this moment." It really worked. So I am going to go into December the same way...getting the tree is going to be fun this weekend and I am not even putting any pressure on myself to decorate it right away...I am just going to soak it all in with a smile and with peace. The Christmas parties are fun, not stress! Sometimes we forget to just be happy someone has invited us to their homes! So Peace be to you on the first week of this busy month!
