Ho Ho Holy crap… why do we think too much this time of the year??

Because it’s the holidays! So much to think about, so much to feel, so much to do, so much to question ourselves about!

Well I for one, am going to do it differently this year. Maybe it’s my age or the time in my life, but I am going to do things way more low key and lower all my expectations of everything and everyone. I want to enjoy the holidays and my life moments, everyday. After all,  I am so lucky to just be here to enjoy it.

But I am ALWAYS ANXIOUS these days!

And of course you are…these are anxious times we are living in.  It is difficult to know when to stop worrying.  The world has gotten much smaller as a result of all the social media and access to information on a daily, if not hourly basis.  These are real, big, scary issues we are facing as a world.  The Ebola virus is absolutely fear inducing to all of us, the ISIS crisis, which is beyond horrific and completely beyond comprehension. The instability in the Middle East, the financial vulnerability of Europe,  and then there is the volatility of the stock market.
