This too shall pass

My current boss asks me for updates during our weekly calls, she makes me feel like I am just another thing on her to-do list, and does nothing to help defend my work.  I have to explain to boss' boss myself what is going on.

This too shall pass...

Small Boy is clingy to me when I leave home.

This too shall pass...

I am down again with a cold plus slight fever, and I am at the office.

This too shall pass...

Many things shall pass.  As I approach Christmas, I stop to think about the meaning of Advent (the 40 days before Christmas) and the true meaning of Christmas.  I want to re read Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol"... if I can spare the time from work, home, the boys. 

A thought experiment: What do the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future tell me?

Past - that I am blessed with many Christmas Days spent with family and friends.  That I am blessed to be able to sing in a choir, to give my time to others and have sufficient money to fulfil another's wish for the Boys' Brigade annual Christmas drive.

Present - that I am blessed with 2 healthy and lively boys, and a soul mate in my Husband.

Future - that I will continue to be blessed.

And all this. too. SHALL. pass!

Hanging by a thread onto my sanity,  Celine

    1. Hi OKC, you feeling better today?
      I do not have the time to read the news these few days, let alone pick up "A Christmas Carol".
