I’m feeling a little better today. Not so emotional or down in the dumps. Sorry about those last few posts, guys. Some days that tender spot just gets beat up a little too much.

It’s been a productive but quiet day as I work on laundry (Why is it that no matter how much laundry you do, there’s always another load waiting for you when you’re done?), wrap a few more gifts, get dinner in the crock pot, and listen to the Vikings game. My good mood could be attributed to the fact that they are up 24-0 in the first half, but I was already in a better frame of mind before the game started.

Today instead of feeling anxious or sad when I look at our Christmas tree, I have a sense of serenity.  I’m feeling a bit optimistic, and a little more in control of my emotions. Not sure how long that will last, but I’m going to try to hang on to that feeling for as long as I can.
