December 8th again

 

December 8th has come and gone again.  I went back and reread my posts from past years on this date and although the feelings are all still there this day has definitely become easier to deal with.  I think it is so strange that my body just knows when the 8th is coming.  Right around the 4th or 5th of December I start getting very hormonal.  I’m laughing one minute and crying in the next.  I’m grateful for friends who keep me laughing when I start having a meltdown. 

Since I was working from home on the 8th this year I decided that I wouldn’t take the day off. I would have a nice quiet day to myself to type my reports and client notes and have some time to reflect.  I did just that.

I stared at the fire and reflected on this past year, where I am personally and where I would like to be next year on the 8th.  I think it’s doable and I think I’m on the right path. 

I have a lot to be grateful for.  I have a wonderful supportive family, a few true friends, a job that I enjoy, a house that I call my own and a dog that loves me unconditionally.

I have so much strength because of your example not just on this day, but through that entire experience. xo

Christina, your comment has given me an idea for a new post. I think you'll love it. Check back in a couple days for all the things I can laugh about now but was mortified about when the happened. Thanks for being such a great friend. I Love YOU!!!
