I love the feeling of the holidays. The smiles on peoples’ faces warm my heart. The heightened sense of compassion displayed by others inspires me to be a better person.
Okay, wait. Wait, hold on.
I love the IDEA of the feeling of the holidays. Where has the feel-good gone?
I can see the awe, wonder and holiday spirit within children. I do enjoy seeing how happy they are. I can feel a hint of the warm-fuzzy feeling come back into my heart.
The lack of snow this year hasn’t helped the spirit this year—no matter how much I hate to admit it. Oh, how I would love to spout off all the terrible things going wrong with society, how all of these things are contributing to our general unhappiness, and throwing our holiday spirit out the window. I’m not going to do that. I will not focus on the negative. (screw money). Okay, now I’m done.
I’m excited to spend time with the family over this upcoming extended weekend. I love all of them, every single one. We always have a great time. I’m sure this is just what I need to pull me out of this funk. Thinking of all the kids with smiles on their faces and ripping through their gifts about brings a tear to my eye. (my left eye, FYI).
I’m afraid all I will do is eat all the wonderful and delicious food. Oh boy, how I would love to. I am promising to you and myself – I will not cave. I have too much time invested in shedding those pounds and still have work to do. It doesn’t change the fact that I want to pig-out. YUM.
