Looking beyond......

Even though my life is hectic,
Even though my father is ill,
Even though my Ex is at his emotional manic time of the year and means many ugly emails,
Even though my step daughter isn't doing what she should to better herself and its dragging her father and house down emotionally,
Even though I have been working more hours than I should,
Even though I might not have the support I need both physically and emotionally,
Even though I hardly have time to do the things I really love,
Even though I miss my best friend,
And even though I have been stressing on my own health issues.........
I am beyond happy for the holidays,
Somehow knowing the holidays are here makes all my stresses less than and I just want to smile while I enjoy my babies, and granddaughter as well as family during this time of the year.
I am grateful for all I have in my life.
