Good morning all, I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.
I hope you all find some pleasure, some happiness during this special time of the year.
I had a rough therapy session on tuesday, she was brutal, but it is what I need, so thankful that I am getting better.
I am on day 1 of 11 days off from work so looking forward to the extra time with hubby that is already retired.
Christmas day we are having my brother in law over, and sometime today, me that isn't much of a cook, needs to preplan how long the ham will take and the betty crocker side dishes, so come tomorrow, it will be written down and I won't be getting too stressed out over it all.
My one thing I am aiming to do this year, and I didn't get a chance to tell my therapist ahead of time, but I have unresolved bitterness with my 2 sisters, so I am going to leave my cell phone on so if they call, I will talk to them, I am not ready to initiate the calls myself, but I will answer if they call. My typical way is to turn the phone off, thereby I am avoiding them, but I don't feel this year that is the healthiest route for me, and my Mom will be at my one sister's so I don't want to ignore her if she does call using my sister's phone.
I know we all have depression, and maybe some other mental health issues, but try and find some way to nurture yourself, watch a silly movie, take a nap, make your favorite cookie, ask for a hug, ask for a massage, treat yourself like your best friend. Baby steps do add up. Love to you all, Josie.

Merry Christmas to you too, Josie!
HI Deb, and I love pizza, sounds like a great plan for Christmas as that movie is suppose to be good and then the pizza.
Merry Christmas to you too!!!
Hi Heidi, can you "adopt" some new relatives where you are?
Thank you Josie, you are so kind!!!
Heidi: that would be a great idea on the friend and his parents, and if they don't take you up on getting together today, make it another day/night over this next week.
