I am stepping away from “food” for this post. This post will be considered mind/body/soul health and healing.

Where are you Christmas?

This song came on the other day and I always thought this was a strange song, but I happened to be in a rather melancholy mood, so I paid attention to the words.

You see, I was having a rough time. This year…just 3 days after Christmas…marks 10 years since my mom left us. Someone mentioned to me that there was only a few years, if that, left for “Christmas to be the way it used to be”. I didn’t reply to this family member, but for me…that ended 10 years ago. Christmas has never been the same. It has never been “the way it used to be.” It never will be. I lost so much more than just my mom 10 years ago, and it has been a long, rough road towards healing. But I have learned so very much.
