Twas the week before Christmas and all through the house, no one is safe, especially that louse! Just kidding! After last weeks blog, my mood this week is shameful. I have been busier than usual though as I picked up a babysitting gig. I have been discovering that how one uses words really affects how they make you feel. Last year, I didn't "have to go to work", I "got to go to work". You see how one makes it feel like a problem and one makes it feel like a privilege?
Therefore, I am not babysitting, I get to hang out with my new friend Miles twice a week. He is a really great kid and I think he will help me remember how to just play. The ability to play is something I completely forgot how to do. All the stuff I did for play/hobbies have become my means of work. And I do a lot of work but am very stressed. Crawling on the floor and playing ball or cars or just making noise laughing is so good for my soul!!!! When I got home after the second day, a jealous husband asked if he could pay me $10/hr to play ball with him. Maybe I should, it was fun when he taught me to play lacrosse a few years ago. Later though, right now he is template cutting pinwheel pieces out of silk ties for me. Isn't he great?
What a great week we have: Happy Channukah, Solstice, and Merry Christmas!
Let light, love, and laughter abound!
