I love Christmas, and there's not much that could happen in life that would stop me from loving the festive season, but sometimes even I get a wee touch of the Christmas Blues.
I miss my Papa, I miss my Friend, I miss the life we had this time last year when they both were here with us and I realize that sometimes in life you just have to 'go with it' and see what happens and just embrace all of life's twists and turns but it can be so hard to look past all the negativity and dwell on how things will never be the same again.
I took some time to think about my life and re-evaluate what is important to me and in doing that, I also realized what isn't important to me anymore. Silly things like paying for a phone bill that's gotten a bit out of control or cleaning the house to within an inch of it's life, those things are no longer important to me and by realizing that, I've been able to focus more on what is important which I think has been the only good thing to come out of this year. My family and I are closer than ever and I can't wait to make new memories with them, but thinking back, 2014 has probably made me feel the bluest of all blues.
A really depressing post, but I know I'm not the only one who gets a bit of the Christmas blues, and who will be missing people who are no longer with us anymore. I just wanted to say that it's okay to not feel all happy and jolly all of the time, it's okay to feel down and you are completely normal for feeling this way, even at the happiest time of the year.
Tomorrow will be a much livelier and happier post I promise!
Do you have a touch of the Christmas Blues?
