In Full Swing

If you had asked me three days ago how I felt about the start of December I would have said that I wasn’t that excited about it since it would be so incredibly busy and I have procrastinated too much already.

On the way home and to Ben and Ruthie’s last night I noticed that a few houses had Christmas lights up already. Seeing those lights twinkle made me smile. They made me remember a recent post on Brad’s blog about really experiencing life. At times it feels as though I’m in a whirlwind with work and with something going on in my life on almost every single night that I tend to forget to just be in the moment rather than get caught up in all that I have going on.

I love Christmas. I love everything about the holiday season and this year I plan to enjoy it instead of being so stressed out about every single detail. (and that means not staying up until 3am baking cookies or making fudge.)
