On feeling better

It’s amazing what just one weekend can do!

During the last weeks I was extremely stressed out and increasingly nervous. It was a hard year. At the end of it I was completely exhausted. I couldn’t even finish with work (well, when is that ever done?) because my doctor sent me home early to rest. Once this month started all I wanted to do is finally fall. Fall to not feel the heavy burden that this year brought upon me. I wanted to fall and have someone else carry the load. Fall and feel a relieve. Fall and not care what happens next.

Then came the weekend. Last weekend. It started with a fun girls’ night out. Christmas market, hot wine, and good talks over an extremely tasty dinner. I came home late feeling exhausted and happy. On Saturday morning you came home, we ventured out right away to buy our Christmas tree and then spent a cosy afternoon at home decorating it. You felt happy and hopeful, for the first time in a long time. I felt calm and blessed for these happy moments and a restful weekend.

I’m happy and in Christmas spirit.
