Did you know stress and depression can ruin your holidays and your health?Big duh!
Why do we put so much pressure on ourselves? Why does everything have to be done to perfection? Why do we have to spend so much, for so little pleasure?
This year we had some family health problems, and I decided I wasn't going to get out all my decorations. After our cruise we agreed not to spend as much. Since I had lots of stress getting everything ready for the church services, I told Dave he was in charge of Christmas dinner. And after trying to cope with laryngitis for almost three weeks, I finally called the doctor for an antibiotic.
And you know what? It worked.
No, it didn't alleviate all the stress of the season. But it did make things better.
Now the worst is over and I can just chill.
yay
