What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

You keep being that kind of Aunt! The type you are is one of the best kinds!

Thank you, for such kind words. I try to be good to the kids because I love them more than anything in this world. I keep telling my brothers that I don't need to have children of my own because my nieces and nephews are there and one day I'll have a classroom full of students.

Imagine how much easer your life would have been if that had been modelled for you?

I really wish I'd had that, growing up because perhaps it would make it easier for me to be learning how to do these things for myself. Oddly enough, I can model the behaviors but feeling the emotions for myself is much more difficult.

Today I have felt absolutely wonderful. Tired, but I have felt great. Now I'm just trying to keep myself going because the most dreaded "holiday" is nearing. I absolutely hate New Year's, far too many bad memories and I am trying so hard to keep the anxiety down at least until I'm back at school and in a safe place to break down.
 
I've had a good Christmas so far, went for a walk with my H this morning to blow the Christmas cobwebs off.

I've said this before but I used to really struggle with Christmas, I've never understood it. But my T advised me to make it into what I wanted it to be, no false illusions of how it is meant to be. I just make it nice for my H and Lads. My T's advice has taken most of the stress out of it and I now see it so differently.

I've also been really blessed by the generosity of other people, some on the forum, so are family and friends. Now that makes all the difference. :tup:
