Hi Everyone,
Today I did STS Meso 2 - chest/shoulders + short pilates from trim tighten and tone. Yesterday I did my own workout blender workout.
Happy Sinterklaus day Henriette. Hungarians celebrate something similar so my daughters wakened yesterday to find candy in their shoes
Peg - i have to say that I take a different approach with your dad's spouse. I would not invite her but would, instead, extend a personal invite for coffee. If she accepts and you seem to connect, then I would extend an invite to the family gathering. I do not believe in giving at the expense of my own sanity or emotional well being. I just don't. Someone asked me to take the homeless boy back recently and my first instinct was to say yes, get him off the street. but, truth is, i felt stressed, hadn't been sleeping, he bad mouthed my daughter and doesn't follow the rules. i could not help him at the expense of my own well being and that of my family. you can share the holidays with her in a different way - and not necessarily at your cherished family gathering. that's my two cents. At the end of the day - you have follow your gut. If your gut is stressed out about it - I take that as a no. If you feel calm and at peace about the decision to invite - I take that as a yes. your gut knows what is best for you - i believe.
have a good day everyone.
