If you've let yours go in a garage sale, you can always rent a pair. You may not be the cat's meow on the ice, but take it slow and remind yourself how much fun you used to have! And there's no shame in having someone hold your hand (or holding to the bar along the wall!) if you're not as confident as you used to be!
Now that the holidays are winding down, it's time to reestablish your regular routines. Walking the dogs, exercise, that healthy salad for a snack ... you can do this! Set the example for your family, and soon, your family life will be back on track. All aboard!
Just before Christmas, we can become overloaded. Pick a small thing you think you can complete ... then do it completely! Afterward, step back, admire what you've done, and pat yourself on the back. You did it! How GREAT are you?!?
Now that Christmas is over, choose one of the classics for a family movie night. It's a Wonderful Life, or The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. Maybe Miracle on 34th Street. Watching with your family (or alone, if you prefer!) will help you wind down from Christmas and remind you that the spirit of giving can continue long past the 25th!
Now's the time to make a shopping plan for next Christmas. As the old song goes, "Making a list ..." Start now. Make that list. Then, plan to buy EVERYTHING on BLACK FRIDAY next November. Deep discount? Check! Only one day of shopping? Check, check! A better holiday experience? Check, check, check!
