These are all of the things that I have made this holiday season. My daughter gave many to her friends for little gifts. My husband took many to work to share with the office.
I guess that I just felt compelled to bake and make confections this season. I feel like I played the role of Baking Elf in it’s entirety.
Our Christmas Party is Friday eve. I have more yet to make for that. This year the party will be very small. I think all of this baking is my way of working through the grief of missing so many people that are gone now. I want to spread cheer but also, I’m really missing a lot of people! I’m also feeling the ticking clock. I am frustrated to not be achieving anything! Nothing that I do has been worthy of monetary gain. I give all day everyday 100%. I would think that I would have found a money making path using some skill I have acquired that I possess? What the heck, why haven’t I found a way to use any of this for gain? I admit that I hide in my shell in a lot of this that I do. I’m sure that has a lot to do with my lack of monetary compensation. Still, the skills I have acquired are rather useless in today’s world! What a shame that I haven’t yet found my niche in society! It’s a race to beat the clock! I really wonder how many other homemakers feel exactly like this? Always a desire to be more and achieve…
Something More Than Nothing
