I’m feeling very tense this holiday. Excuse I’m bringing together different factions of the family who don’t always mesh well and yet I need to get everyone together at least for 2 or 3 hours. Otherwise there will be lots of disappointment There s a new baby to see and cousins from the west coast They haven’t been here in 4 years

I have been there plenty. I used to tough it out and then melt once everyone left. Then I would have to have a recovery day. This year I made some changes. One of them being to excuse myself when I feel necessary to take a little breather. Thanksgiving for example I excused myself to the bedroom for a moment. I put some lavender oil on and took some deep breaths. It only took 5 minutes and then I felt more composed and went about the day. No one even really noticed. I am hoping that all goes well with your gathering today. ❤️
