Ugly Sweater Contest
I am a day late and a dollar short on Day 20. It has been quite the week trying to get caught up at work and home. My house needs cleaning, I haven't finished my Christmas shopping and I have overextend myself with commitments. But, through all the stress, I remember one thing. I am so very blessed this season. Last Christmas I felt very blessed, too. However, it was a different kind of blessed. I was finding blessings in the fact that Jess was finally getting the help that she needed and deserved. However, I was so very sad that we couldn't spend Christmas with her and that she was going to be away from us for a time. The other concern that we had was that we didn't understand how long insurance was going to let her receive treatment. It was a huge concern. This Christmas, I feel blessed and thankful for the kind of stress that I am feeling. I will take this kind of stress any day!
I am also feeling a little sad... I didn't win the ugly sweater contest at work. Although, I feel like I was a strong contender. Lots of people came up and told me how awesome my entry was and that they voted for me. So, either I was a strong 4th place (there were 3 winners) or I need to demand a recount. I would like to thank my mom for loaning me her awesome shirt. After I offended her by asking to borrow an ugly sweater, she came through with flying colors! Thanks, Mom! I knew I could count on you.
