It's November already! This year like the one before it and the one before it has flown by and left without of trace. It's like these years are a blur and I can hardly remember some of the details anymore. all the more reason for me to write things down. I forget half of all of it.
I read something the other day giving two reasons for writing things down-- I don't remember what they are now, but the second one was write things down.
Anyway, the reason for the title.
I'm not big on celebrations. Holidays are hard work. I'm becoming a Scrooge I think. I just don't look forward to the days from November 1st to January 2nd.
I was telling Husband (the Honey) just yesterday, how overwhelmed I felt with everything. With school, with babysitting the grand-children, school rush in the morning and after school pick-ups; paying bills, cooking(which I do very little of now days) and cleaning...ditto. That is just another part of this not so wonderful time of the year!
My home is a disaster. It's a house. One big container... chock full of things.
It all needs to go. Having a celebration here of any kind... requires a HUGE clean out.
I'm just embarrassed to say, I've got clutter.
I'm not even sure how it happened. I'm pretty sure it DID NOT sneak up on me! I only say that because I've seen it coming and I'm keeping most of the mess behind closed doors and in this very room. Honestly, my health doesn't help. The feelings of sluggishness I get from blood-sugar highs and lows ... keeps me from getting up and handling the clutter.
I try and study in the room and well... it's almost impossible.
It wears on my mind. I keep telling myself (something I read years ago) that " the smart a person is the less of a house keeper they are." So yeah, I keep telling myself... I must be super smart almost a genius!
Anyway... today I sit here postponing the cleaning that is obvious around me and NO One else is going to do; and looking ahead to the holidays with dread. Thanksgiving is just less than 3 weeks away and Christmas follows.
I'm praying for energy. Renewal and a Thankful heart.
Prayer. That is my only hope at this point.
I'm sure God has answers to all this.
You dear reader... may have some ideas too.
be gentle.
I'm in a sensitive place right now.
Grace and Peace
