Reality is not much fun. I have been enjoying all your recent post, but have had trouble with commenting. My daughter-in-law is finding those Hallmark Christmas movies addicting, too. I had cable taken out, so there is no excuse for my inactivity and lack of focus LOL.

In our minds we can take on just about anything, realistically speaking...but sometimes our intentions are squashed by other real life issues - time, health, distractions - the real meat and potatoes of day to day life. But don't let it take the zip out of your do-dah...persevere and take one step at a time. This is the first year that I did not feel an overwhelming heart when I put out the Christmas. I only got out a 16th of the decor...and it pleased my heart.<br /><br />Giving you a big, big hug!! Hey, come on over and we can have a cup of coffee and destress. :)<br /><br />BeckySweet Cottage Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05585280807777813283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5238455262711858186.post-17562769056270610432015-11-29T07:41:43.750-06:002015-11-29T07:41:43.750-06:00I think we all fall short of what we want/hope/wis...I think we all fall short of what we want/hope/wish to be, Gayla.
