It’s been over a week since I last made an entry on my blog. I took a little vacation to enjoy the holidays and now I’m wondering if I succeeded…did I enjoy myself? I was still doing final, final, final edits on my book as late as Christmas Eve so consequently; I didn’t put my tree up until an hour before guests arrived. And I never adorned my tree with a single ornament. It did have very pretty and colorful lights and I decided good was good enough, which many of you know is a saying I live by and use repeatedly in my book. It was that kind of holiday. I can summarize my holiday experience in three words…poor, good, and great!
POOR
My eating/drinking habits during Cranium (game night) on December twenty-third. I downed a bowlful of extra salty, dry roasted peanuts, drank way too much wine, and forgot to drink water. I woke up repeatedly that night feeling bloated, thirsty, and pissed off at myself.
GOOD
My eating/drinking habits over the following two days. I did indulge in a little wine, but I remembered to drink buckets of water, eat small portions, and abstain from salty nuts, candies, and cookies. By the twenty-sixth, I was feeling considerably better.
GREAT
The tin of my sister’s whole wheat dark chocolate chip cookies made with ground flaxseed and wheat germ that she left at my house during Christmas. Lucky me! One tasty cookie and a perfect cup of coffee and I was able to sit back and reflect on the love, joy, and bliss I feel for my children and the rest of my family. We’re not perfect and we’re having a bit of drama presently, but I wouldn’t trade any of them for anything in the world!
Hope you all had a wonderful or at least “good is good enough” holiday too! Have a safe and joyous New Years.
