Yep.
Sometimes I feel like my life is traveling at warp speed.
My goal for this month is to slow down and enjoy. To take notice. Much like my fall pledge I'm making a December pledge:
I, Melissa, do solemnly swear to enjoy the month of December. I will not be overwhelmed, overburdened or over-scheduled.
I will show my children that Christmas is about family and about giving.
I will give thoughtful gifts, and not rely on gift cards.
I will bravely say "No, thank you." to parties and activities which are not in my best interest.
I will remember to leave a little something for our mail carrier.
I will watch Christmas movies with the boys.
I will remember that Christmas isn't about what you spend, but about how you feel.
I will not be grinchy, but I will be thrifty.
I will pull my family in close and give thanks.
