Two really good words

I am preparing myself for a very difficult weekend and beginning of the week.  This year I am spending Christmas Eve and Christmas Day alone while my little one is spending Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with his Big Brother, his father and family.   I love the fact that I am allowed through the grace of a wonderful woman to see the connection between the two of them and watch them really become brothers.  I have been doing a lot of learning and reading about strength and equanimity and ways to keep the calm and peace in  your heart even when the world around you is trying to break you down.  

So while I wait for a few days to pass I will prepare us for a  many days of fun visiting my family!  

Yes it will be difficult

Yes we will make it through it 

Yes it is worth it.
