All This Single Mom Wants For Christmas

Being a single mom means being grateful for the little things and exhausted while enduring the busy tired fill days. I know that for my daughter I am both parents. And that is especially true during the stressful Holidays. My cup is full, but everyday is filled with chaos and endurance is required. What I need is a way to refuel and recharge so that I can take on the next day and be my best for myself and my child.

Here are five things that I wish for this Christmas.

1.) Time

Just a few minutes in my sacred space for some mindful meditation. Five minutes will do wonders for me! Can I just get five minutes please? If I can get a workout that is one of the best stress relievers for me.

2.) Family

Those family members that understand my number one request. And help out. You love my girl so much, and you watch her for me and give me a moment I need from mommying. That is truly the best gift of all.

3.) Friends

Loving friends that have always been there that understand my need again for number one and support me in all that I do. You are my greatest gift. I am so appreciative!

4.) My Daughters Spirit

Her energy is a stocking stuffed full of sweetness. And I feel constantly renewed around her sweet smile. I will always hide my pain from my daughter so she continues to be the bright light that she is.

5.) The Prospect Of Loving Again

A single mother deserves love. We give so much. I never expected to get divorced and I am grateful that I am no longer with my ex. However, I do want to love again. And I know that my person is out there. Having the strength to date and try again is what I wish for this Christmas.

6.) Some Self Care

A spa soak in my tub. Or an at home manicure

Just space to gather my thoughts and maintain my own dreams. Because while I am so thankful for what I have, I want more for myself and I deserve it. My anxiety is also my strength. And I will always be striving!
