The Christmas Blues have lifted in the last couple of days. I have spent every day since Christmas with friends and family and suddenly I feel back to normal. I guess it really puts things in perspective - so much to be thankful for and little to worry about.
At a family gathering yesterday an Aunt asked me: Do I miss my mom on the holidays, is it apparent that she is gone? And after getting over the shock of the question I realized that for me, Holiday's aren't' the big issue. OF course I miss my mom over the Holidays, its a time for family. But for me it is the random Tuesdays when I call the house forgetting I won't get her and wanting to tell her something great. While I answered this question I was thinking to myself - please don't have asked my stepdad this question. Please.
So despite that one little blip I realize - family and friends heal all. And when you are down and sad you should surround yourself with them. Be thankful for them and tell them often they are loved and appreciated.
