Great read. Having this same convo in my circle. The freedom to change is greatly under rated. The takeaway from this is just that, we should exercise the freedom to change.
This was a great read. I literally had my therapy session yesterday and expressed that I was dealing with some anxiety about the holidays, especially in regards to being around certain family members. She reminded me that I have the ability to choose how I'd like to celebrate the holidays and that I don't have to stay the whole weekend if I don't want to. So with that, I am choosing to return home on Saturday rather than stay the entire weekend so I can have a day to myself before getting back to the weekly grind.
Last year, my husband and I bought a home down south, away from our families in NY. This Christmas, I’d really like to introduce the gift name pulling idea but I’m fearful of their reactions. My peoples LOVE gifts and I’m not sure if they’d be open to using Elf technology.
Thanks for your article - I will make the suggestion along with reasons WHY technology can make the whole process easier and perhaps more satisfying. Wish me luck!
But we need the overnight French toast recipe! Thank you for your valuable reflections and thoughts. Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi Katie! The hyperlink is above click the wording "Overnight French Toast."

You only get one life to live. There are no do-overs. Why put off things that would be satisfying and fulfilling right now if you are able to do so?

I think it's always a great idea to give yourself some time before jumping back into the grind after traveling or even a vacation.
