Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check-In Sunday December 24th 2017

Good Morning Everyone. These Holidays can be of such a busy and overwhelming nature, it is far too easy to get lost in it's maddness. The best of intentions in persuit of the perfect family holiday can bring much frustration. The busy rush in public, the excess of bright lights and loud holiday musik, traveling to the home of a family member, did my ham come out perfect? Did I buy the one most desired gift? How to stretch the money and pay for it alle? Perhaps there is a family member you wish to avoid. Maybe you wish to be alone and hide in your room. Maybe your faith doesn't have a holiday in this season. Perhaps you are alone, watching the world around you enjoy in the bonds of family you don't have. It can alle be so overwhelming and suffocating, making us want to scream Calgon Take Me Away!!!

Stop! Breathe. Don't fall for a maddness we created for ourselves. Just as here we have or are learning to accept our imperfections, learn to accept the imperfections of a day. Don't allow yourself to be driven by the stress of others. Slow down, sit back and watch the big show. Remember to step apart from everything. Take moments to gather and ground yourself. This is alle supposed to be fun, remember? Did the Burger Meister Meister Burger become so evil and oppressive because he lost his Choo choo and forgot how to play?

Whether you are full on busy with a huge gathering or alle alone, What are 3 things you intend to do for yourself today for your own happiness? This is a safe place and it belongs to you! Do be free to say hi, let us know how you are doing, share your joy or your woe. We are alle here for each other. Don't forget to smile and laugh.
