I’m trying to keep the Christmas cheer but today isn’t working for me. It’s Blogmas so I’m posting anyway when on normal days like these I wouldn’t.
Do you ever have those days where everything goes wrong? Someone calls you and complains and it puts you in a bad mood? You get interrupted in the middle of a workout and have to end it before you’re finished? You forget to grab something because you’re on the phone and distracted. Someone says something that hurts your feelings or is just mean and it bugs you for half an hour. You try to book a flight and your credit voucher doesn’t work so you wait on hold. Someone steals your credit card info so you’re on the phone again, on hold. It’s just one of those days for me.
My sister came over today without my brother-in-law, as I expected. He could hardly make eye contact with me at my niece’s birthday party. It’s just awkward now, they left the church and decided to go live in a trailer. But, now my sister’s family is back for the holidays. Normally I’d be thrilled to have my sister home but it’s different this year. Things have changed, (more on that later).
The highlight of my entire day was coming home at the end of it and doing my skincare. I’ve been watching too many skincare vlogs and reading too many skin books to be honest. AHA’s, BHA’s, PHA, and HA; I know what those all mean now. I’m dipping into the real world of skincare! I’ve trusted and leaned on brands too much and now I’m feeling like a chemist; checking the percentages and formulations of the ingredients in my products.
Also, another highlight was giving my boyfriend a hug, seeing my church family; getting to know people more, teaching my AHG troop, and laying on my yoga mat as I type this Blogmas post.
Keep working hard and loving the life you live even when it feels like it all sucks. Even if it feels like you’ll die out before you actually accomplish anything real. A servant of God is all you need to be. If that’s all you do, it’ll be enough. He’s helping me follow the Ten Commandments to a T and be conscience throughout my day. I’m becoming a better Christian and It’s the most freeing feeling in the world. There is a silver lining to every situation. Come back tomorrow. 👋
Goodnight 😴🌙 -Elaina
