One more Christmas down. The girls were here, just a couple off spats between them. Ian came for Christmas, I only made him cry once. Okay, I don't think it was just me, but he feels torn between Mike and I. I tried to tell him it is up to him to create his boundaries and create space for himself, but I don't think he understands it yet. Heck, it only took me 50 years and I still have trouble with boundaries and trying to make everyone happy. Although I did let go this week. I didn't take blame where I was not to blame. I did what I could do and let everyone deal with there own issues, including Rob. Christmas night I was done and tired, I only wanted to sleep. And I did.
God is good and I thanked him in gratitude for this week without pain, drama or guilt. I am hopeful. I am content.
The girls left this morning. Rob and I had one more day off. I cleaned. I napped. I made some amazing roasted salsa and enjoyed myself. Tomorrow I will go back to work and I am okay with that. I am very blessed. This year is almost over and it has been good. I have done a lot and my trip to Israel was one of the best things I did for me. I have already come up with my intention for 2017. Live boldly. That is why I intend to do.
