::Wreath::

we're down to the last days before christmas.

all my shopping is completed

and i feel relatively peaceful and calm

during this holiday season.

compared to previous years at least.

the flip side of that peace and calm is

we have very few decorations up this year,

some ornaments are still in the box. waiting.

no cookies are made (yet)

and i have not sewn

all the things i had planned to.

sometimes i'm hard on myself and

think that i should do more.

but i decided to do it differently this year

and not push myself to the limit.

i think my family might be enjoying

a less stressed mama

and i've lost 3 lbs!

with all the extra exercise

and less stress eating!
