oh, how i wish i could say
i haven't been blogging lately because
i was basking in a picture-perfect,
joyful, peaceful, carols at the hearth
with hot cocoa & baby marshmallows,
martha-stewart-style holiday.
but let's get real, shall we?
the truth is, i haven't been blogging lately
because i was tangled up in a holiday haze
of to-do lists, credit-card debt, sleep deprivation,
matriarchal martyrdom & good old-fashioned stress.
*sigh.*
yeah, 2011 wasn't my best year . . .
for christmas or much else.
& i'm not wading into the self-pity pool
for a wallowing. it wasn't all terrible.
christmas itself was rather lovely.
it was just the lead-up that sucked.
in spite of my best intentions,
i let self-care go,
which left plenty of space for
over-caffeination, over-carbohydration,
severe under-rest
& an overdeveloped sense of underappreciation.
can anyone relate at all?
so, thank goodness for new beginnings.
thank goodness for the new year,
for new intentions,
for a clean, crisp, blank white sheet of paper
upon which to write them.
thank goodness.
& hello, 2012!!
