The video above is from Christmas 2018. It is me and my sister, Tracee, goofing around like we do.

I love the fact that when we forgot the words to the Christmas Carol we were singing, our other sister, Chudney, jumped right in to help.

Oh, don't get me wrong! She didn't know the words either hahaha, but she was game to “go with the flow” and then we did too! We went ahead and finished the song!

For so many of us, this holiday season is forcing us to go with the flow as it is different than other holiday seasons that have come before.

In some of our cases, there are sadly members of our family and friends who are no longer here to celebrate with us. In other cases, some of us may be sick or in quarantine.

I was talking with a friend this morning. She and her child have COVID. Very mild symptoms, thank God, but it means staying home, alone, through Christmas. No visiting family. No friends.

I know LOTS of people in similar positions, cancelling long-held holiday plans to isolate because they’ve been exposed to or have contracted the virus.

It is, of course, the right thing to do. ...And it also sucks.

So, as I talked with my friend, I asked her “Is there any way that you can make this time special? Like a mini vacation? Instead of fighting it and feeling frustrated by it, is there any way to just “go with the flow”?

If you find yourself in a similar situation this holiday season, consider the following questions....

What if you used this time to do the things that you never have time for?

Organize that room or closet that you’ve been meaning to get to or

Listen to some great audio books (one of my favorite things to do) or

Draw or paint (even if you don’t know how to draw or paint) or

SLEEP?!?!?!?!? Or

Binge watch a few of those shows everyone is talking about or

Journal (another one of my favorites!!) or

(If you’re feeling up to it) take an online exercise class or

SLEEP (wait, did I list that one already???)

My point is, we’re often so focused on what our plan WAS…what our expectation WAS....what our life WAS… that we are blinded to what it now CAN BE.

So, this holiday season (and going forward)….let’s do our best to not be in resistance to what "is", but just.... go with the flow.

I really believe it will be the best gift we can give to ourselves.

Enjoy your holidays family — no matter how they present themselves!

All my love to you!

Rhonda
