Perspective

For some in-explicable reason, I feel let down when the holidays are over.

I'm not in school, so I don't get winter break. I don't work for one of the company's that makes you take the week between Christmas and New Years off. I am no longer a child, so I don't have a ton of gifts waiting for me this season. I'm not Christian so I don't celebrate Christmas and get overly excited about Jesus.

I guess it's like the end of summer. It's another reminder that time is swiftly passing by. I remember hoping that time would go by quickly so that I could FINALLY...graduate...meet "the one"...get married...have kids, etc...

In today's world, I hope that time would slow down so that I didn't have to rush to get the kids to school/activities/bed, get myself to work/working out/paying bills/grocery shopping/etc...

From childhood to adulthood, not only does your outlook on life change, but so does your perspective. Not sure yet what it means :)

A lot of people get the post holiday blues. It makes sense for you. Just reading your blog you seem to be a highly active person and very social. I bet at the holiday time all of that goes into overdrive, even kid activities, with school shows and parties and such and you like all of that and all the extra baking and cooking. You seem to thrive on all the business. My sister-in-law is the same way. She loves the the time from back to school all the way through Christmas because she is super duper busy and then right after New Year she goes through a little depression because it is such a dead time of the year and she just hates it. She doesn't get busy again until Spring, towards end of school year when things get busy again and then she is somewhat busier in the summer with the kids home.

Oh, goodness I rattled!!!

I pretty much agree with Lucy. It is a crazy time and you most likely really enjoyed that, especially spending more time with family and loved ones. I bet you have some great memories to re-live in your head to help put a smile back on your face!
