Now that Christmas is over, maybe I can make some sense of some of the feelings that I was having. For the 3 weeks before Christmas, I was heavily involved with selling "events"where you spend 2 or 3 days selling either the same or related products. I found that I really got quite emotionally invested in selling the products. Maybe it was because I was selling products that I really enjoy myself, like various cheeses and dips. I got so involved,that I didn't realise how close to Christmas it had gotten. Whoa! Time to try to get the rest of my shopping done! One day, I was walking past some fresh pine wreaths we had for sale and caught the fragrance.It nearly made me cry with the memories and feelings it brought up. I was missing a lot of the things I usually did around Christmas. I was spending so much time at work, and even away from work, planning my demos and checking my sales, that I hadn't really done some of the things I usually enjoy. We usually drive around to see people's light displays, but with the price of gas and all the snow storms we had, I missed that. It's not really a big deal on that, but what I had missed, was taking time to contemplate and enjoy the season. I didn't even do any baking or candy making either.
When Christmas came, it was very nice, though quiet. My daughter seemed to enjoy things and we were able to have her with us for a few days. I had planned to call my son and his family, but didn't manage that either. I guess after all the rushing, I kind of became a little slow and quiet. I suspect that's probably something I needed.
