Don’t panic!

Lots of us get to this point in December with Christmas just around the corner and have a moment of panic. There feels like a mountain to climb with gifts still to buy and wrap, food shopping still to be completed and a degree of uncertainty as to who exactly will turn up and when! At least that’s the situation here today… But have you noticed that everything gets done in spite of our anxiety? I always used to feel overwhelmed by the number of school reports I had to write, but they were always done in time, just as there will always be enough food for whoever arrives on the doorstep. These days I try to take a more balanced view by doing what I can in advance and not putting off anything until tomorrow. Also, I’m a great list-writer, making notes and reminders then putting them in a safe place……… now where did I put that notepad..?
