But all should be done by tomorrow, and like you, I'll settle down and enjoy the rest of the season.

My mom is battling severe depression and the last few weeks have been especially hard, including a 10-day hospital stay over Thanksgiving.<BR/><BR/>We wrapped presents, baked cookies, took down Thanksgiving decorations and did her hair. We watched Christmas movies and made turkey soup. It was fun for me and a blessing for my mom, who couldn't have done any of that by herself. My dad got a break, too, because he's constantly worrying about Mom and has to help with everything. He's not used to it yet.<BR/><BR/>Still, I thought of my own to-do list. Grinch!! But seeing my mom's happy face erased all nervous thoughts that my own stuff would not be done. Priorities shifted, and I'll get done the most important things and not worry about an extra batch of cookies or dragging out ALL the decorations.<BR/><BR/>I echo your prayer, Brandilyn! Thanks for sharing. <BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas!Pam Halterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13980301862494655691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10583449.post-61936736908979265632008-12-21T23:28:00.000-08:002008-12-21T23:28:00.000-08:00Excellent reminder, Brandilyn.

I feel like I tell myself to focus on the meaning of the day, not the trappings, but I seem to need to hear it again and again!Christina Tarabochiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17917807123445539587noreply@blogger.com
