Before the day even started today I sensed it was going to be a bit of a challenging day. None the less, this is when one has to dig deep into one’s emotional and mental toolbox and put your big girl pants on, right?

So today, out came most definitely a Christmas T Shirt and a pair of Christmasy earrings.

Today, this was me literally putting on what it was needed.

This was me putting on what I needed to face the day ahead this very day.

This was me turning my back on that which would attempt to rob me of joy and instead actively choosing instead to hold on, as best as I could, to journeying the day ahead with a semblance of joy still intact as best I could.

Reading a newspaper article last night about a couple based in Auckland who have had to close their business, due to ongoing hardship in the current pandemic world got under my skin. It triggered some not so great personal memories and feelings overnight and into the early hours of the new day.

So today, it was a day for doing what I could, whilst dealing with some memories and feelings that decided they wanted to be acknowledged, whether I liked it or not.

Today was a day for wearing a Christmasy T Shirt and dealing with people politely, yet somewhat emotionally detachedly, so I could rest away for a bit inside my own little emotional and mentally safe bubble for awhile.

Cheers, Happy Joy-Hope-Love-Merry Christmas T Shirt! Cheers, blingy gold bow earrings! I am very glad you both were available to be in my life today!
