Today is Christmas Eve. What a tornado of a year it has been. I’m curled up with a mug of tea and admiring my new surroundings. I received the keys to my new home four days ago and I am finally settled in. I managed to full on decorate the place for the season, I couldn’t help it. The inner child in me yearned for the comfort.
Christmas is a time of year that holds so many cherished memories and though this year has a definite void, I am trying to find comfort in the small things, like the soft glow from the lights, or the woodsy feel from the garland. Sometimes it truly is the little things that get us through the day. It’s so important not to overlook them.
As this year nears its end, I can’t help but reflect on what 2020 has brought. For many, it has tossed our worlds upside down. For others, it brought joy and good news. For myself, personally, I would like nothing more than to forget this year. But, I find that I’m hesitant to do so. While it has caused immense heartache and loss, it has also given me valuable life lessons. 2020 has shown me that I am strong. I am resilient. I have learnt to adapt to change and I will continue to do so. New doors have been opened, and I have jumped in with both feet. Who knows, perhaps this is the start of something that will be better than I could have ever imagined.
And so, with that said, I’m going to be living in comfy clothes for the remainder of the season and indulging in the holiday treats. I hope you get to do the same.
Wishing you all a warm holiday season and a happy, bright New Year. Here’s to 2021! May it be kind to us all.
