One week into December and I'm not scrambling to get things done. That is something of a miracle. Lest you think I'm bragging, I'm not. It's not that I'm so organized or have it all together. It's that I've learned to let some things go.
I've learned a few things over the years. I don't have to do everything that my friends do. Nor do I have to create the "perfect Christmas."
What I want to create is a Christmas of memories. I want my husband and children and grandchildren to remember that I love them. I want my friends to know that I am there for them. I want Heavenly Father to know that I'm doing my best to obey His commandments.
So, for today, I am grateful for letting go of things.
I'm glad you are able to let things go. I let a lot go but there are some things that I don't. I guess that's what makes it just fine is that we can each decide what is important to spend our time on.
ReplyDeleteWe just got our tree up last night with 2 1/2 weeks until Christmas. It was important to us -- better late than never, I suppose.
