I find Christmas stressful too, and I agree that counting our gratitudes is a good way to get through all that stress. I hope everyone had a happy day, and good luck with the oil paints Susan!Linda Hensleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11929626735450807904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-80542238738722828322013-12-24T18:23:53.970-08:002013-12-24T18:23:53.970-08:00Hooray for sweats and messy hair!!!

And it seems they've lost a lot of participants, if my own traffic is any evidence. Perhaps it is time to move on to those canvases, and just our own interesting personal thought posts, as you have done here? I bought oil paints and canvases this week and am anxiously awaiting their arrival. Egad! Never thought I'd be painting in oil again, but that is a subject quite lengthy for a blog comment. I find Christmas to be a consistently stressful season: so many expectations, pressures and guilt. It's a hard holiday to pick and choose one's own approach, and opt out of that which stresses, especially if it's family, and especially if one is not currently financially prosperous. Well, it will all be over in a week, and then we'll be given a new (year) chance at creating the best life ever! In the meantime, I am hard at work practicing gratitude for a mate and friends I can truly relate to, and the kindness of strangers...and the strange and stressful, but sometimes still helpful, kindnesses of family. Sending a warm holiday hug to you from balmy Northern California, Linda! ♡Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639676523379057364.post-85100101184656856012013-12-23T06:08:49.257-08:002013-12-23T06:08:49.257-08:00Thanks everybody!
