Post Holiday Blues

My long weekend is over. The Christmas season is over. All the gifts have been given.

I wonder where the past week went. I feel just as stressed out during the holidays as I did before the holidays began. It's a mystery why some holidays leave you refreshed but others leave you strung out. Maybe I didn't get what I was hoping for, but that's life. I don't mind.

Lots of things happened in this part of the world this Christmas. A great tsunami missed us, a feared social unrest didn't materialise, nobody in the family died in a fire or lost his/her fingers in a firecracker accident.

I am grateful for this holiday. We, my family and I, are blessed with more than we need.

Tomorrow I work again. That's fine with me.
