Nineteen concerts, nine interviews (one for Croatian Nat’l TV, rest for various radio stations and newspapers), one guest spot on Fox 19, one Red Carpet Premier Screening and hundreds of miles traveled - all in a short three and a half weeks.

I feel a bit tired. I actually curled up on a couch today and watched HGTV (I guess it’s the whole “home” thing that I crave after a tour.) What I really need is sleep, but I am still too “wired up” to sleep. I close my eyes and I see the faces of people we connected with this past tour. I hear their stories and their compliments. It was an amazing tour.

But… what do I do now? It’s six days before Christmas and I don’t have a single gift (the only one I do have I ordered on line and it won’t be delivered untill after the 26th of December.) Sure I love the Christmas season… and you know that line I wrote about the peanut butter cookies - it’s not going to happen. Or the one about cleaning the floors and windows… just how unrealistic and silly! Matthew finally put the lights up this morning and I am still planning to gather the neighbouring kids and teach them a bunch of Christmas carols and then visit the local nursing home for a short performance.

Yeah, right.

After I sleep for a week.

Well, I am going to have to make some strong coffee and keep going. But no matter what, I am not going to panic… At least not today.

Today I am enjoying the softness of my sofa, the lights on the Christmas tree and my boys playing right there next to me.

And when I start feeling a bit stressed, I sing to myself: There is nothing, nothing that you have to do… just believe (well, believe and DO a few little things… tomorrow
