Tena,

You touched me with this post. I think the holidays are a weird time and set up a lot of expectations that are impossible to fulfill. God bless you and thanks for sharing. I’ve finally gotten my blog back up and running, so if you feel so inclined, come and visit. Much love.

A wise friend once told me, lower your expectations so that you are not disappointed. So far it’s not working for me. Know you’re not alone in your feelings. Hugs!

I understand- especially the brave face… Here’s my theory, (I know you’re dying for it!) A person who allows her/himself to really dive into those feelings, yet understands at the same time how truly blessed they are, are the luckiest because we get to see all the aspects of life. AND we get to know what true joy is because we experience despair.
Here’s hoping you experience many small moments of cheer this Christmas…

Turning to prayer is the best thing to do. Trust God. He will help you to feel blessed and enjoy the holiday season with your family.

Hang in there!

The last line is my fav “Glory to God, and on earth peace, good will toward men”. The holidays are hard to a lot of people. Just try to remember your blessings.

Amen! My husband pointed out to me that I am unusually stressed/anxious. See today’s blog post.

I hope things get better for you.

Peace.
