This may be one of my favorite writings, except for the concern over your health, which I hope you are feeling better from.

Many wishes for the new year ahead, may we all find peace and joy and moments of calm, with a big dash of creativity.

Yes! to learning and respecting your limits. Go you for stoping and not pushing through. Accepting limits is such a hard lesson to learn and our society does not value the wisdom of counting spoons so pat yourself on the back you have done well for yourself.

I am praying you'll have a peaceful Christmas 🎄 I had to choose this autumn not to try out the meds that could have relieved my chronic pains, as I didnt want to risk side effects that wouldnt have allowed me to care for my little girls. Yesterday the drive to my parents for 8 hours was insanely difficult but worth it. Sending love ❤️
