Having said that, I also hope you can cut out a little corner for yourself somewhere, so you don't wear yourself out.

We do get caught up in the business of the season and it just flies by and we haven't paused to really let that Christmas Spirit in. Thanks for the reminder today. I will be listening to Christmas music all day tomorrow.<br />Blessings and hugs!

I was reading your blog and crying my heart out. Honestly Sue, I don't know how you have been able to do everything you have done, and I'm so glad that you went to your old ward's program. so that you really could get the feeling of Christmas in your heart and even though you were DWT I'm glad the tears came. I find that crying really makes me feel better, if you can understand that, and I'm sure you can. It just relieves some sort of pressure there that is really helful to me. You still have so much to do and I wish I could be there to help you. I have honestly felt a bit stronger every day, so probably I could have helped some. We could have at least put up your tree for you. I do know how much you decorate for every holiday, so taking down Thanksgiving had to be a major bit of work, to get everything packed and put away. You two are just too much. I'm sure Dave has tried to help you as much as he can. <br /><br />The problem is, that I don't see anything letting up in the near future for you to ever get a little bit of physical relaxation. I'm just praying that your body will hang on and that you won't get sick when you must be so run down physically. There just has to be some way that you can do away with all that you do for the holidays. Of course, being your mother, it is natural for me to feel frustration when I read about all that you have been doing. <br /><br />I echo Momza's hope that you get some small moments this week to just "be". That thought expresses mine perfectly, it was so well said. <br /><br />Oh my gosh, this is getting so long, I'm wondering now if I should even post it.<br /><br />After reading it, I did decide to post it. I stopped crying half way through, so I want you to know that I am okay. I know that you will always find a way to keep doing all that you do and Heavenly Father does bless you to be able to shoulder such burdens during the Christmas season. I am grateful for that, honestly.<br /><br />I love you so much Sue, and I know that you are very much aware of that.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16797132860053426517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072583027504108914.post-69102399998252579662012-12-04T16:46:20.678-08:002012-12-04T16:46:20.678-08:00I love those dam breaking ephianies.

I too saw a Christmas play yesterday, and it's always in the eyes and hearts of little ones that I seem to find my way. We will get it all done, and in fact you say you haven't put away all your Thanksgiving decorations? Well I just put a new one up in a tree, that I found and haven't seen in years. It's a little scare crow man swinging in the center of a wreath (and he sits in the tree outside my kitchen window) just to please me! Yep, we have to stop and remember to take our fixes in life, just so we get it all done, and enjoy it!21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072583027504108914.post-251759396169850992012-12-03T13:29:47.636-08:002012-12-03T13:29:47.636-08:00I can appreciate the feelings you've shared. ...I can appreciate the feelings you've shared. Today is a day of complete rest for me. I made no plans, have no appointments and will make none beyond staying at home in the solitude of my own making. Listening to christmas music as it pleases me and letting my mind wander a bit to things unpractical and heavy on wishful. We all deserve time off from Life once in awhile. I hope you get at least, small moments this week to just "be".Momzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01078211684662158122noreply@blogger.com
