Christmas Bunny

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First of all - Merry Christmas!  This year, for a change, I am actually looking forward to Christmas even though I am partially being dragged under by all the chaos and all the things I need to do.  I seem to soak up everything that floats around in the atmosphere and tend to feel somewhat confused. 

 

I am glad this year is over though.  I turned 40 this year and felt really down about it because for some reason I became faced with the fact of my own mortality and how short life really is.  I feel there is too much to do and not enough time.  In the past month or so I made peace with it all and feel a sense of acceptance about my life.  On top of that I struggled with mental illness troubles and other physical health problems which didn't help very much.  Through all these troubles I think I was able to learn a lot about myself as a person and change my life some in a physical way, like starting to eat healthy foods, getting more exercise and getting some good quality mental rest (eg. turning off loud outside stimulation like the TV and radio for long periods, this has really helped to clear my head, ground me and help me rest mentally and physically).

 

On the plus side I became an Aunty twice this year which was really exciting!  I really adore these two new little munchkins, they're so cute and loveable.  Also got some art done even though illnesses made that quite difficult.

 

Well, this year I am having a Portuguese and somewhat German Christmas.  I think it's going to be 24 hours of Christmas and I'll be sneaking off to take a nap somewhere Christmas day.  I'm looking forward to all the naughty food as I've been eating healthy for nearly two months and it will be a nice break.

 

I know it's not Easter but I had to do a bunny picture.  I've got this thing about bunnies at the moment, they're so cute!(glad my cat can't read this)  I made some cards from this picture to give to family and friends. I put silver mica on the baubles and the edges of the cards.

 

Well, I hope Christmas doesn't treat you all too badly and there is some good stuff in there for you!

 

Bye for now :)
