Wednesday of few words...

We're going to the beach to get some perspective...much needed this time of year! Isn't there this undue pressure to make everything perfect for Christmas? Why do we do it to ourselves? Ordered gifts not yet arrived due to the snow. House-related DIY projects that suddenly need completing. Wrapping paper everywhere. Random Christmas cards from people we have not seen or heard from in years. I am waiting til Christmas Eve when I will have all of my family around me, but until that day, they are scattered. I need some sea air...and some hot chocolate in the beach hut and a pep talk from my friend P. Then I promise I will return with some Christmas spirit!
