Wisdom Wednesday: Holiday calm.

Or is it calm before the storm? Hah!

Either way, is anyone else feeling calm this Christmas?

Today I officially wrapped up all of my holiday shopping.

Like literally.  I wrapped all of my gifts and even put them under the tree for good measure.

I don't know if it's a fleeting feeling, but I feel very calm this Christmas. 

I don't feel rushed or anxious. 

I don't feel like the season flew by.

I feel like I've soaked it all in. 

Am still soaking; playing Christmas music all day, and looking at my tree still never gets less magical.

It's funny as you get older and know yourself a little better .

You hone in more on what makes you anxious or stressed. Or you just generally know that nothing is EVER as big of a deal as you used to make it - so relax already!

Whatever it is, I have just been feeling very present.

Maybe it's better pre-planning and more time (thank you Jesus for Parents Day Out), but I actually feel on top of things and thus un-stressed.

Which thankfully makes room for a lot more important feelings, like gratitude and contentment.

I hope you are feeling it too, friends!
