Ideas for the Holiday Season

[SueS788527]

In case you want to do more this year for the upcoming holiday season, I wanted to share my new approach this year.  This will be my third year without my husband.  I decided to be more proactive and start earlier.  I plan to attend at least 1 event/happening a month that I would enjoy.  In this way I am not overdoing or overcommitting, which I tend to do.  I am identifying possible events from local online magazines, etc.  I am encouraging my Grievance Buddy group to join me for a simple outing, that would entail going to the event and then either having lunch or coffee and dessert.  Whatever everyone wants to do.  It is simple and doable with minimal stress.  I have found more ongoing interactions with kindred spirits do work.  Deeper relationships can develop in many new and profound ways. (s).  We will see how this works out.  Please feel free to share your ideas as well.  Have a good weekend, your friend, Sue

Hi, Nicole, I just wanted to share that this is the first year that I have been proactive around the holidays.  The first year I was numb and actually don't remember much of what I did.  Last year I tried to do something but got the flu and the skateboard 😗, as I previously shared.  So take your time, you are the best judge of where you are and what you want to do.  Whatever it is, I hope you can find peace and comfort during this holiday season.  Love, Sue

HI, Nicole, I always appreciate your positive encouragement.  As simple as this idea seems to be there are some, I know, who would rather stay in their cocoon. However, there are unexpected others who actually want to live a life.  I'm trying to keep positive.  As they say don't let the turkeys get you down.  Fly with the Eagles. Love, Sue
