Happy New Year Everybody! I spent the day resting. Well, OK most of it. I’m not very good at sitting still but I took some baby steps on this ‘resting’ thing. I was honestly pooped so I think this forced my hand.
We didn’t get to bed until 2:00 AM so I slept in til 11:00 this morning. A weird way to start the day. I read in bed and journaled a few goals for the new year until 1:30 and I couldn’t take it anymore. My body was stiff. I got up and took a shower and decided I would take the Christmas decorations off of the tree. I was keeping a good attitude about the chore until I had to take off the string of lights and then I started my muttering, “We’re doing something different next year for Christmas. It’s just too much work.”
Scott looked at me and said, “I thought you were just going to relax today.”
I thought about the scenario for a second. I could pick up another book and chill. No one was pointing a gun at my head to undue Christmas right this moment. No, I didn’t feel like reading. I would rather busy myself. So I buttoned my lips and finished my task without anymore complaining.
After a nice night out with the family at the Blue Island Sushi I came home and picked up another book. This lasted for five minutes until I fell asleep on the couch. Does Christmas do this to everybody?
