Each December I find myself wishing the month away. And come January I find myselfe
regretting the fact that I wished away life! I have Finals for school,
Christmas programs and parties, Nutcracker ballet performances, Addison’s
birthday, Christmas, Christmas shopping, Christmas wrapping, etc., etc., etc.,
- the list could go on forever it seems.
But this December I want to change a few things…..for starters a lot of
people in Hobbs are going to ger RACK’ed (Random Acts of Christmas
Kindess). I have researched some
cute little ideas (like here), and of course my kiddos are going to get involved and I will
see what ideas they come up with as well.
Last month I ordered some little cards to include with our ‘RACK’
I am looking forward to experiencing this with my kids!
I am also changing my focus on life. Here are a few ‘less and mores’
(inspired by this blog here)….
- Less
clean surfaces and more projects that reach across the table or countertop for
hours….maybe even days
- Less
drawer usage and more piles
- Less
keyboard typing/online activity and more facetime
- Less
treadmill running and more unconventional forms of exercise
- Less
baking perfection and more helping hands
- Less
watching TV and more watching the sun set and counting stars
- Less
‘hurry up’ and more ‘pause’
- Less
time spent on appearance and more hats on unwashed hair
Overall, I just want my life to seem meaningful and full of
fun family memories! The busy-ness of life always seems to allow us to forget
what’s really important. It’s not
the ‘material things’ it’s simply
the ‘meaningful things’ that are truly important!!
Love you all!!!
Bethany
