Only a few travelers today and I am so happy that it is Christmas even
though I don't get to spend the day with my family. Today I am flying
up to be with Allie and then tomorrow eight of us are heading out on
an incredible adventure in Nicaragua for New Years!
I'll post more about the trip tomorrow but I hope everyone has an
incredible Christmas!
I've never had such a full fridge! This is great! I've been bunkering
down and working and I actually went two full days in my PJ's and
slippers. I even went out to Thai food with Deyl and picked up Chinese
last night in them. I don't know why we wear anything but PJ's.
I've gotta admit that this past week was one of the worst weeks of my
year. :( ... I dunno what it is but it seems that so many things come
to a head at the end of the year and everyone is under extra stress
and extra pressure and I've seen a change in myself and in nearly
every one of my friends.
I'm sure we are not the only ones going through this and I want to
encourage everyone to be aware and extra sensitive to others in this
time because I know personally when I suffer from what Tim Sanders
calls "the scarcity of time disease" I'm miserable and I have a
tendency to only think about myself and that has a spiralling effect.
Also, set expectations and get to the heart of issues instead of just
putting bandaids on them. This requires openness and honesty AND
vulnerability which isn't comfortable at the time but is a necessity
for any lasting relationship.
Happy Sunday!
Yes I am going to bed now...I am tired and trying to get over a little
cold...winter hit hard last week and the severe climate change got the
best of me. Good night.
