Guest guest Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 This was the first Christmas with no contact from Nada. I was so worried how I would respond. I spent the last few months preparing myself for no emotional melt down to my husband and daughter. I wanted dry eyes on Christmas Day. Amazing it worked. It was the first year in our new house. I created so many new traditions for us to hold on to forever. It was just the 3 of us. There was only one moment on xmas eve that I held a tear and a fleeting thought of what if? That was when we were driving around looking at xmas lights on the houses. There were families sitting in groups outside their houses drinking and eating and sharing the joy. I quickly talked myself out of the " I wish I had friends and family to share all this with too " We have moved away and left everyone behind. Good move may I say. I focused on WHAT I DO HAVE. In that car, I had a beautiful husband, a beautiful daughter and xmas carols playing. We were celebrating our way and going home to have the best xmas ever in our new house. Even if it was just the 3 of us. I have really seen lately how my focus use to be on what is Missing in my life. I am working on what I have. Gratitude. I also had the thought to bring me back around, about all those families sitting there and how many were biting their tongues and Walking on Egg Shells. How many fights would break out after all the drinks kicked in. Things are not as they seem and least I had a chance to fully relax this year and take it all in. Do the Waltons really exist? I am doing my best effort this generation to change the blue print and yes............... My goal is to be the WALTON'S............ While I am at it might add the JONES'S to the list too. LOL The sky is the limit. GRATITUDE GRADITUDE AND NO MORE WHAT IS MISSING............ Kazam x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
