Holidays....

Every year, I dread the holidays, because I'm alone, my family doesn't get together and it's just like any other day, home alone.  I don't know why, but this year, watching all the decorations and shoppers out there, it is making me happy.  This is SO rare!!  I can't believe I am actually happy about the holidays, normally I would be dreading them, gloom and doom and isolation.


Of course, nothing will happen, it's just another day for me, so I can't understand why I am feeling good about it.  It's weird!


How does everyone else feel about it?

Hugs my friend. I am going to decorate my place for Christmas. Nothing fancy just a little here and there. I, too,will be alone. It is what it is. But we are never really alone. There will always be three people in the room. Me, Myself and I. Yes, I understand what you are saying. Doing things that makes us happy is hard but we can do it. You just proved it.

We are finding some joy in the holidays this year too! It is hard on Christmas day, without family, but until then we are enjoying the lights, decorating our house, going to parties, and finding happiness in the small things...

I told myself this Christmas that I was going to make the most of it. I understand what your saying. You should go to a Church supper or even volunteer. That's my plan. Hugs! Brooke

It is better to be happy. Perhaps you are actually starting to feel better and now you can enjoy Christmas time. I like to see what they sell in the stores and the music. I don't have money to buy anything. Maybe there is an event you want to go.
