Tis the Season of Giving and wishing for Energy

Not much to say today. I’ve been too busy, totally worn out. It seems there isn’t enough time in a day. Christmas is around the corner, and it seems I’ve waiting for it all year. But now that it’s right around the corner, I want the time to go by slower. I have so much wrapping to still finish and well, it’s a chore in its self. This year I decided I wasn’t going to wait until the night before to wrap the gifts. I started wrapping a day ago and it still seems the pile doesn’t end. I wish for once the lupus wouldn’t get in my way. It seems to be sucking me dry this week.

I am thankful to be able to give my family gifts. I do actually like to shop, but it’s a drag when you don’t have the energy to do all you want to do. So in many ways I will be glad that the holidays be gone and over. I am making my English trifle this year and I’m really looking forward to tasting it.

I think the best thing I’m doing this year, is not to wait until the last minute. When I do that it seems I can’t enjoy the holiday. It’s not good for anyone to feel so drained they can’t enjoy time with family and friends. Many times people forget the true meaning of the season and get so dragged up in commercializing the holiday. Many times it’s not the gifts you receive or give, but the company you keep.
