A Christmas Wish

Hey…How was your year?

For me?  It’s been a year for the record books.

From the threat of war to political upheaval, stars falling from grace and aliens coming to visit I have experienced a wide range of emotions and feelings.  My mental health has been all over the place.

Love matters have my heart navigating ups and downs like a rollercoaster

There’s a lot going on with work so my mind is racing around the clock.

Finances make me experience some stress, but I know how to handle it.

The energy running through me has been strong.

And while I would have liked to rest, it does not seem like there’s ever enough time.

I’d love to have more energy and motivation to workout consistently, but I just don't.

I noticed this uncomfortable pang in my back the other day and I’ll get around to looking into it, but it’s fine for now.

Although I don’t feel like I get much quality time, I know that I am loved and appreciated.  I try to be understanding and not escalate issues until I really can’t take it anymore.

The end of the year always feels different to me for some reason. The holidays are both hard and rewarding  

It feels like there's more to do on a shorter timeline, so I’m being pushed to do more, which just feels unnatural when it’s dark outside and I want to stop doing and just relax.  So, it’s hard because I’m doing more, but it’s rewarding because I know it’s almost time to rest.

The holidays are socially permitted time to stop.  And even though I still end up running around, it is the most acceptable time of the year to claim rest.

So, I hope that I get to rest this Christmas.

LOL…Do we still get Christmas wishes, now that we are older?

I really don’t ask for much.  Just some quality down time, good food and rest for a few days sounds like the perfect gift.  And it more than makes up for any neglect I may have felt earlier this year.

What do you think?  Is that asking too much for Christmas?

With love from,

Your Body
