Christmas and the Social Parties

Tonight, I have to go out and “celebrate” Christmas, and yet it is the last thing I want to do. I am a real optimist by nature, and find it difficult to be so negative about 
seeing friends. It is the thought of being alone, the thought of walking into the room. I had decided that I was going to make an excuse and just not go….and then my wonderful friend said “I know this is going to be hard, so I am coming over early afternoon and we are going to have a girlie afternoon – facials, doing our nails etc Then we will go together- you and I, and I will stay with you all night….we can leave when you are ready, but the party would not be the same without you”
Gosh, how could I say no! I still am finding it hard, and would still prefer not to go but when you see how friends rally round and put YOU first – then I cannot reject that kindness. I will let you know how it goes….

I hope everything went well for you and hope you had a good night.
