There is so much to be happy about. I've got two of the most wonderful children on this planet. They love me despite the fact that I sometimes treat them like they don't. I really know that they would never hurt me. I do know that but sometimes I get selfish and childish and get to thinking dreadful things. I do know better, now all I have to do is start acting it...I'm spending tomorrow with my son. I haven't seen him in a year. We spent yesterday together and went out to dinner. Tomorrow I'm cooking dinner and we'll spend the afternoon together. It will truly be a lovely Christmas. My daughter is spending the eve and day with her in laws and that is a good thing too. One year, we'll figure this Christmas thing out but she doesn't live that far away so visiting isn't as difficult as it could be..I don't really know what all I'm trying to say other than, despite some odd things that go on in my life, that sometimes cause me more distress than it should...........I have so much to be thankful for and I try to remember it every day. Some days I don't do such a good job but I really, never forget..
Have a Merry Christmas everyone.!!!!!!
Merry Christmas to you too.
Christmas is still tough with my daughter. Her father and I had a messy divorce and she opted to stay with him during her teen years. He remarried and has kids and so she always spends every holiday with him. I'm supposed to understand. But it still does hurt.
I don't say anything any more, I just accept it and she comes the day after.
But someday, someday, I would like for her to feel that perhaps I'm the most important parent. Although, I'm getting close to accepting that it's probably never going to happen.
Sorry this is long winded.
Merry Christmas!!!!
