LaLa Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 I recieved a christmascard from a friend from the US with a quote I'd like to share here:Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas. [Calvin Coolidge] I know that holidays are a hard time for many people, including many members here. I don't want to pretend that "it's all that simple and lovely". But... maybe somebody will like the quote as I do and take it as a nice 'cheering up' (?) .

Athena Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Thanks for sharing that LaLa. I'm going to put that quote on my google calendar for December 1, 2011, which is when I usually start stressing out over Christmas. This past Christmas is the first I have not celebrated Christmas night (Dec25) with my family, as we did it on Dec. 24th instead. So I was on my own Christmas night feeling kind of sad, then I told myself, don't get so hung up on the exact day. After all, I saw my family the night before! By 8 pm, I told myself, hey in a normal year, I would have been jumping in the car to go home right about then, so Christmas with family would have been over anyway. At that point, I started to feel pretty good and I just relaxed and enjoyed the peace and silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flander Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 the stress that I have at that time of year is more due to getting stuff wrapped up at work and bad weather while driving. I cope with other holidays w/o kids is to sleep during most of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna- Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Lala, this new year is scary for me too. I HAVE to find work this year. So this morning I sat down to fill in some application forms. My CV is like a patchwork blanket, little bit here, little bit over there, little bit way over there, all unrelated. I'm not working in the field I studied for and I am not keen to do so. So my CV looks weird and it's hard to tell what I actually do or what I could do; my CV doesn't suit job profiles. Every time I fill in application forms I get into despair about how to make it seem I would be good for a job. My self-confidence during the unemployment has eroded so badly, I am afraid to do so many things. And I got into despair again. Then my printer broke. Small thing, but I just folded and sobbed. Why does everything have to be such a daily battle? And I ever going to be able to work again?And all I can do is keep getting up, and getting up, and getting up ... and I wish I could find my feet and just stay up for a while.
