Why are the holidays so exhausting? Is it just me? Anyone else have a lot of trouble with it? I feel totally defeated, even though I had an amazing week…

There were many beautiful moments and plenty of new memories to cherish. I was lucky enough to be surrounded by people that love me, in our beautiful and warm homes, with a few gifts under twinkling lights. It was a really great Christmas!

Even my big dog, Louie, took a nap near the Christmas tree. This bed is meant for dogs half his size but I bought it anyway because he likes to curl up sometimes. He pretty much loves this bed. He’s very particular about his linens.

Every day is a blessing. I’m lucky to be surrounded by really amazing people that love me, even when I’m at my worst. I’m lucky to have all of my basic needs met every day: food, clothing, and housing. I’m lucky to do work that I love, with awesome people, and get paid for it. There are so many gifts and things to be grateful for that I get totally overwhelmed with appreciation at times.

Hope you’re enjoying a great holiday season. Much love to ya!
