No, I haven’t gone mad…at least I don’t think so LOL.  I woke up today and realised a few things.  I need to put the past behind me and forge a new future.  I decided it was time to celebrate Christmas, which is all about a birth too.  As I will be having surgery in the coming weeks, with quite a significant recovery period to follow, I figured I needed to start planning ahead and put some coping strategies in place.

The first thing on my agenda was how was I going to decorate for Christmas this year?  I love to put up my tree, lights and decorations.  They are all stored in my garage in one big plastic box.  Whilst getting them up is no problem, the getting them down and storing away would be.  Me being me, I couldn’t possibly ask anyone to do this for me.  So today, I went to The Reject Shop and spent just under $40 and bought a Hurricane glass, Baubles to put in it and a metallic glittered tree to fit on my mantle.  All in my lovely Coastal Colour of Aqua with Silver.  I have already put them in their places and I feel happy when I look at them.

Next on my agenda are business related items such as taxation and most importantly time for me to get a divorce.  Well, it is actually well past time I dealt with this.  It is time to move on and what will be will be.  I will not have my happiness sucked out of me any longer by what has transpired in the past.  I have a future I want to experience, but the past needs to be dealt with before that can happen.  Moving on.

So have a lovely Christmas everyone, whatever the rebirth of your life may be.  I am celebrating early and for longer this year.
