Here is a hard truth: Something will go wrong this week.
- Someone will get sick.
- Someone will get grumpy.
- The food might burn.
If we cling to the image of a "Perfect Hallmark Christmas," we will end up resentful. Let’s mourn the "Perfect Holiday" right now so we can enjoy the Real one.
The Real one has mess, and noise, and flaws... but it also has moments of genuine connection if we are looking for them.
Mantra for the week: "I choose Connection over Perfection."
