Happy Holidays!!!

I hope you all have a wonderful, merry, happy, ecstatic, exciting but drama-free, holiday season. In just a few minutes I will be taking off on a two and a half week vacation which will include very little computer access and lots of time with my wonderful, adorable, lovely and loving children.

Stay safe!!

Time

Today, on my way to work, I felt the same grief I was feeling a year ago this time. It felt as if the past year hadn’t happened, and it is that I am mourning my mother passionately. I miss her desperately.

Time has been hurtling along. There is no way to slow it down, it is not possible to use it wisely. It moves on a constant, and I am trying to pack the minutes. I don’t like living like this. It is an incredible idea to “savor the moments” when the moments simply lead into other moments and there is so much to get done in all of them. I am behind in my life, as usual. I am behind the curve on grief, on motherhood, on my own individualism. I am asking for a time out, time to simply be, time to realign myself to a peaceful acceptance of time.
