...Wish I had a river....

Wish I had a river to skate away on...
Yep.... the holidays are approaching... and as usual ... I'm trying to find a way to make them ok for me... how can it be that each year I find it more difficult... I have planned a trip back east to be with the kids and... then a whirlwind to see "friends"...

On top of all the travel stress... the monetary stress... I feel so silly for feeling the way I do... I just read Asher's blog... and pain, frustration, lack of sleep, the uncertainty of their daughter's health... well ... lets just say my problems don't amount to a hill of beans... they are certainly not enough to cry about... they are struggling and dealing daily ... hourly ... with the illness of their daughter... the stress on their family... now that... that is something to feel bad about... to struggle with...

Count my blessings... my children are happy and healthy... and ... launching into their own lives..
You know... on second thought... Life is good...
