I am so grateful to be sober today. I’m grateful for such a wonderful Christmas and for having spent time with my family. I’m grateful for being able to rest, for the week between Christmas and New Years where I don’t get one single email, for how different things are now, for the air fryer my mom got us, for my anniversary on the 1st and my sisters birthday on the 4th.
Good morning my friends :) I hope everyone has been having a wonderful week so far, has been enjoying the holidays and has been able to hopefully rest a little.
I’m currently feeling some post Christmas sadness because I can’t believe how fast the holiday goes by. There is so much time spent getting ready for Christmas - decorating, the holiday music, wrapping presents etc.- but the day comes and in a blink of an eye it's over.
And the real depression of going back to the real world is looming for me but I will avoid those thoughts promptly until January 2nd. In the meantime, I will spend my days laying on the couch, reading, watching movies and putting on face masks, because everything doesn’t feel so heavy these days. The world is calm and quiet and peaceful and not one person is meant to work 365 days a year.
So I have no shame (maybe a little) for my pure laziness this week. And I hope everyone else is able to find some time to be lazy too wherever you can this week. Which I know can often be a challenge and I know this time of year as a whole can be a challenge. But any time you can find for yourself, any resources and tools you need to use to stay sober, I promise, are 100% worth it.
I will leave you with a short post today, which I know are few and far between from me ;) But rest assured, I will see you again on Thursday!
With so much love always,
Jane
Lovely post! And that plate of festive baking looks AMAZING!
