Woohoo... My next work project is going to be what I wanted and asked for and I'll get to work with two of my favorite people... yesterday we had our first meeting and it felt so good. The past few weeks, every day there has been some sort of struggle or stress about people learning new jobs and figuring out who does what and one of the people I'm working closest with really isn't very professionally mature so its been bumpy. It is going to be awesome to not have to deal with that as much with the new project, and it is a really big thing for the company, so exciting all around.
We aren't even into December yet, but for some reason I feel like I'm behind on Christmas already, but really I'm not, it is just that it comes so darn fast. I want to make sure I'm doing at least one community Christmas thing each week but haven't figured out what those things are, so that is also stressing me out. Ugh, I just need to calm down and get things done.
edited to add: just read a post by Miss Mustardseed where she spoke to exactly what I've been feeling about Christmas, and ties some of it to social media and Influencers starting holiday so early. Below is taken from the end of her article.
"My point certainly is to offer encouragement to those who feel behind, including myself. I hope you can take a deep breath and settle into a pace that feels natural, effortless, and joyful. Give yourself permission to be slow, to take time to play, and to allow the season to unfold in a way that is perfect for you and your family. And loosely hold onto or, if possible, let go of anything that makes the Christmas season feel like a race."
