Get over it already!!

So, the holidays have come and gone. Mine were good. Really they were. But, I was in a funk for most of it and I have no reason in the world to be in a funk. Let's take note here...my holidays included:

Being with all of the family.
Great food.
Laughter.
Singing carols.
So many amazing gifts.
Quiet time.
A great husband who loves me so much and whom I love so much.
Drinks!
Seeing old friends.

So...why have I been in this funk?

Because I'm a selfish immature child, that's why. You see, for my whole entire life my Christmas has been the same. The same food, the same people, the same time, the same place. This year, I got the same people, the same food, but the time and place were wrong and I got held up in that thought and it just made me push all that is good and right with the holidays to the back and brood like a baby. To myself I say GET OVER IT ALREADY!

There are people, very close to me, who do not have this in their lives and I was sitting here feeling sorry for myself. What a ninny! I have so much. So much more than most people have or will ever have and I am grateful for all of it.

I will, from this day forward, never forget how lucky I am. The next time I start feeling sorry for myself, someone just kick me...HARD!

I know, in my heart, that life is what happens when you're not looking. It's the quiet moments that matter...those times that sneak up on you and make you stop in your tracks to work to hear them. They're easy to miss. We have to work at it. But that's what makes them so worth it.

Into the New Year I plow! Forward! Upwards! Onwards! With only a little bit of looking back.
