All the shopping
food and gifts
All the wrapping
ribbons and bows
All the baking
flour and sugar
All the decorating
colors and lights
All the cleaning
fresh and fragrant
All of it
fun
until it isn’t.
All of it
because I want to
until it isn’t.
All of it
at once…
until I say
wait.
And I take a deep breath
and I remember why
and I make choices
to do only
what it suits me
to do
Because I just can’t
Because I just won’t
DO or BE
all of it all.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
