I've started approving comments. I realize, sometimes I fall a bit behind. For instance, I just approved a comment from Maggie from THREE days ago. However, there were 30 or so comments that never got posted. I clicked the little checkbox next to them. I marked them as junk. I moved on - no publishing or republishing required. Really - who has time to spam blogs? This is a past time I do not understand.
This holiday season, I'm learning to say no. I'm learning to say, "I can't do that today." I'm learning to say, "Hey, can you do this for me?" I'm learning that I, in fact, am not Atlas. I cannot carry the world on my shoulders. I need help.
And you know what? That's ok.
Work has felt overwhelming recently. High stress paired with the holidays? Sometimes, it feels insurmountable. This neat little word - no? It's very powerful.
How do you balance things during the holiday season? I could use some tips. :o)

Amazon is a life-saver when it comes to helping with holiday stress.
I try to keep my head on straight by making lots of lists... and not getting to worried when I don't check off as many things as I hope to each day.

In order to relieve holiday stress I cry. And then magically the next day I receive $1000 in the mail from my grandma and my dad tells me he'll loan me money to buy a brand new car (again). So in my experience crying usually brings super great awesome things!!
