I have decided to enjoy a day looking at all I have achieved - rather than what is left to do. It does make me feel better and I truly believe that the best present we can give or receive at this time of year is to go gently and be kind to ourselves. It is so easy to get caught up with all the things we feel we must do or make and miss the joy in just being. So I am telling myself that my 'to do' list is a 'might do' list and enjoying the things I have already done. Try for yourself and pat yourself on the back - you are doing a fantastic job!!
