Cut yourself some slack. You may not see all the things you do, but really, you're a very busy woman. Step back. Ignore the things you aren't working on and take a look at what you are doing.
You've been photographing the belt trials at the dojo. You've been losing weight and making a healthier lifestyle for yourself and your family. You've been improving yourself.
It's so easy to let the negatives bog you down. Don't do that. Focus on what you are getting done and try to ignore those other things. Please.
Pour yourself your favorite drink, put on some holiday music, let your mind unkink and dust off the memories of this year. Ask yourself: what has each person in this family accomplished? That's the focus. That's what the holiday newsletter thing is all about.
The new year will be here soon enough. Take some time at the end of this year and establish your goals for '07 and quit beating yourself for not doing enough this year. Your readers can see how much you are doing, and trust me, it's quite a bit.
