Yes, I am still alive and kicking! Just buried under a ton of last minute work for school, and Finals next week. I promise I will post more often next week when the pressure recedes a bit.
This is a great reminder for all of us - we cannot do everything at once, and we cannot do everything at all. If you are feeling stressed this time of year due to commitments, overloaded to do lists and exploding gift lists - just breathe. Think about what you can chop off the list. No one will really notice if everything doesn't match perfectly, or the bows are a bit droopy. If they do, and mention it...they aren't a friend worth having. Take a breath, have a nice cup of tea and simply RELAX. Enjoy the holidays for what they are - time to treasure friends and family.
