#reverb10 – day 20

December 20 – Beyond Avoidance.

What should you have done this year but didn’t because you were too scared, worried, unsure, busy or otherwise deterred from doing? (Bonus: Will you do it?)

(Author: Jake Nickell)

There are lots of serious things I could put here… but in light of the season, I’ll stay a bit lighter.

Held a party in celebration of Baby M. I passed up a shower in the spirit of having a “sip and see” and well… it just didn’t happen. Along with the birth announcements getting out in time.

I know the party isn’t for her… but it’s for our friends who genuinely wanted to meet/visit/see her. And I feel horrible that I didn’t make that happen for them.

I’m planning to make amends with starting to plan her 1st b-day now (yes – I’m already WAY behind the way-more-prepared moms who planned at 6 months old). It will happen, invites will go out in January, and we’ll have the celebration of life that we really wanted to have this year.
