This was today's big project. Yes, folks, those are the CHRISTMAS letters. And, yes, today is February 4th. I had the cards made before Christmas. Catherine wrote the letter and printed it and we all signed it, and then I made copies of it. I found the address list and updated it as best I could. Then the wheels fell off. I claimed that I had "let go of" this particular Christmas tradition and that I was OK with getting them out late. I lied. While I realize that it probably doesn't really matter to anyone else, stuff like this weighs heavily on me until I finally get it done, no matter how long it takes.
I am full of great ideas: gifts to make for others, little kindnesses I'd like to do for people, organizational tasks that would ultimately make my life easier, recipes I'd like to try, projects I'd like to do, and so much more. Most of them either get started and never completed or don't even get started. Why? Sometimes the time just slips up on me and the event is upon me before I know how the time passed. Sometimes I'm not sure how to proceed. Sometimes the task is so big that it overwhelms me and I'm not able to even begin. And, occasionally, the job is simply beyond my capabilities.
So, anyway, the Christmas letters are addressed, stuffed, and stamped and ready to be mailed on Monday. Happy February!
It's ok Terri, it's Epiphany. I bet there are a few more who don't have their cards out. One day maybe I will send cards out. Maybe.
