December Thoughts:

December is my birthday month.  I celebrate all month long.  It’s a brilliant idea.  Every time I have a treat, I wish myself a happy birthday.  I also check how old I will be.  What a shock that is!  I am not telling it here.  Good things seem to happen during this month.

Please remember people with birthdays in December do not want their birthday and Christmas crammed together. Gifts should be separate. After all you get your birthday and Christmas. Do two gifts- one birthday and one Christmas present.

.I finished writing my second book about Grey Dawn Cloudstorm.  In this book she takes a Study Expedition into the Clan on Aven.  She discovers more about herself and her family in this book. I will do several edits on it. 

The first book is in creative editing- Beta Readers with the publishing company.  I await more work to come on it

Hints and Tips for surviving the holidays:

Do what you can.  You don’t have to do everything.

Remember to ask for help when you need it. 

Hang up the phones and the computers for a while.  Go do something different.

Sometimes the dust and stuff have to be ignored while you accomplish other things. No guilt about it!

Art and writing- creativity is proving to be something that should be done regularly.  It helps to center oneself.  It is about “Flow” and getting into it.  It relaxes the body and energizes the mind. 

Sometimes what other people do for you is okay even though it is not the way you would have done it.

Online buying of gifts is a great way to save time and stress on your body.

Above all, take time to enjoy the Season.
