It’s amazing how precious time is the older you get. This is my first holiday as part of the management team and I am so grateful to the people who believed in me. The transition has been smooth and I continue to learn and grow everyday with the opportunity. The risk was worth it. The fears hasn’t materialized.
With the exception of a few people, I’m done with Christmas shopping. Staff members – checked. Parents – checked. Siblings – checked. Nieces and nephew – checked. Stocking stuffers – checked.
The sadness is dissipating. I’m slowly finding joy in the season.
My baby niece is such a cutie. I braided my hair yesterday and that was the first thing she noticed. “I like your braid Auntie __,” she said. “And I like your clothes.” She’s a sweetie. It’s been super cold this week and I was in a long coat, boots, and black outfit.
My baby sister – I’ll always think of her as such – is the Queen of Decor in the house. She’s turned the house into a Christmas wonderland.
Being sad is okay…
