It’s not the load…

“It’s not the load that breaks you down. It’s the way you carry it”
C.S. Lewis

​
Only one more day until New Year's Eve. How are you carrying your holiday load?

​
We were looking forward to our two daughters who live in Seattle coming home. Nope. Big ice storm. Coast to coast winter blast. Trains, planes, and automobiles stopped cold.

​
Our son-in-law who lives in town came down with Covid. Quarantine.

​
We could have let our disappointment settle in, frustration with the uncontrollable take over, or… pivot.

​
New plans, extended family sleepover for everyone here and healthy. Lots of food deliveries to the sick. Puzzles, good food, movies, fresh snow, sledding, and plenty of ways to enjoy the season in a very different way than we had planned.

​
So let’s adjust our loads and carry them with gusto into the New Year.

​
Happy New Year!
