I think I am allowing myself to be taken down by my mother's cheerfulness. So what am I going to do about this? Well I am going to concentrate on gratitude. Please help me with this. Please. I need help, a lot of help. Help me to be grateful and not dwell on lasts years Holiday fiascos. Help me to be patient with my mother. Do not allow me to get pulled down by her mean and snarky comments. Help me to have patience and understand her and pity her. Just because she is unhappy does not mean I have to be unhappy Right?
In order to fight these holiday blues, I am going to get to work, as work is a great panacea for depression. I can't really say I am depressed, but mom is and she could take a league of Angels down with her.
1. Call all people in the shop
2. Finish one dress
3. laundry turn over
4. help mom make meat balls for open house( like this needs to be done today)
5. make 4 pies
6. peel and boil sweet potatoes for tomorrow.
7. get squash prepped for tomorrow.
Mom is upset by my bad cough and cold. First my poor Lil sis was so sick with a cold and now I am down/up/ down with a bad cough. But remember we are not allowed to be sick. She keeps making comments about how tired she is of people coughing all the time. She had to put up with Lil sis and now me. Her life is so hard. My little inner voice is saying, "Come here and let me make your life hard." Okay that is not the point of this post. This post is to help me be up, up, up!
I am blessed with work, I am blessed with wonderful sisters. I am blessed with great kids and grandsons,I am blessed with skills to help me when ever I need them.
Well I had better get to work as no one else is going to do it!
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
Have a lovely Thanksgiving
Kim
