8 years ago...

As I walked down the isle, to my forever with you,
I was so excited to see you, to say I do,
I was so overwhelmed, with the love that I felt,
I new that I was walking towards my future,
I had no fears or doubts,

You take me as I am
All my fears and flaws,
You love me when I am on my highs
or surviving through my lows,

I take you as you are,
All your fears and flaws,
I love you when your on your highs
or surviving through your lows,

8 years on,
Surrounded by our little ones,
Busy and tired, and sometimes a little lost,
It gets overwhelming,
but we have each other, we have our love,
we have the trust, in our God above.

I will always remember,
the moment I said I do,
It has changed my life,
Only for the best,
I love you, I cherish you,
I will grow old with you

The Season of Chaos..

I am pretty sure that when Dec 1 hits, everyone changes, I see more stress, more chaos, more people fighting to get things done, I see more people struggle and I see people feeling the social pressure to keep everyone happy..

I think in all of that it can be really easy to forget why we all celebrate Christmas, We spend an entire month stressing for a day that is really about coming together as a family and Celebrating the Birth of Jesus (not all do and I respect that.)

I encourage you to be focused on those around you rather then what you need to fit into your trolley, try to focus on those you love rather then those who are bringing you down.. Don't stretch money where money simply cannot fit and don't feel guilty and if you do have that bit extra maybe dig deeper and maybe pay it forward..

I encourage everyone (including myself.) to Take a calm approach into this season, which I get it is hard! but with all that is going on in this crazy world, lets not let Christmas be a season of stress, let it be a Season of Joy!
