Acceptance FTW!
This Christmas is going to be different. I won’t see either of my girls. And, I’m here for it all.
My oldest daughter is in Florida, enjoying the warmth of the Florida sun, creating new traditions of her own.
My youngest is spending Christmas with her boyfriend and his family, going to Mass and being the recipient of matching pajamas (OMG, she’ll LOVE those matching pajamas!).
I Love that they’re trying something new for the holiday. Would I Love them with me for Christmas, absolutely. And, I LOVE witnessing them trying new things (just like when they were little👶).
I’ve been them.
Twenty nine years ago today, I found out I was pregnant with my first daughter. Her dad and I were visiting his dad and stepmom in Mesa, Arizona for Christmas.
We loved doing something new and different for the holiday. I had never spent Christmas away from my family so this was a big deal.
We went hiking on Christmas Eve and had the best time. Then Christmas Day came and I spent much of the day crying, wishing I was with my family.
This was way before doing my work. Accepting my experience wasn’t an option…yet.
Looking back now, I wouldn’t change a thing. The trip was perfect. I Loved the hike, the shared time with his dad and stepmom, and discovered I was going to be a mom.
I tried something new and learned I wasn’t interested in spending the holiday away from my family.
Whatever your holiday looks like, can you be here for it all?
Knowing life is change—change is life.
Enjoying the moments as they are, instead of what you believe they should be.
Love,
Jeana 💗
