First snowfall of the season

Today, we had the first bit of snow of the season. It wasn't much, just barely a dusting but it seemed fitting that it was on the first day of December. Kind of like Mother Nature's way of saying Thanksgiving is over, time to get ready for Christmas.

Even though I am not a big fan of snow and the cold, it kind of helped me get a little bit more into the holiday spirit. I usually love christmas time and getting ready for the holiday, but this year, I'm just not really into it. I think it's because Mark is in Florida and we're here. The stress of that situation is taking it's toll on my mood.

The christmas tree is up, I've started my shopping, and the christmas cards are almost ready to be sent out but I'm just not excited for it all. I still have things to get done and I need to get motivated to do it. It's just no fun without Mark.

I'm trying to keep in mind that it's for the kids and that I need to make it fun for them, but it isn't easy when you just don't "feel" it.

Today, with the cold and the snow, it helped to make things feel more like the christmas season. I'm still not quite ready for christmas, but I'm sure as the time gets closer, I'll get more excited for it. One day at a time.
