Some companies these days don't even have a Christmas party any longer. They forgo the whole thing since people over indulge and then want to sue someone for their own overindulgence. I think it is sad, but understandable. A small company could be put out of business with just one idiot ruining it for everyone else.
There is no drinking at the party, and I think that is a good thing. This year I have opted out of attending the Christmas party for moms at school. I just don't feel like being around everyone without making a real effort to improve myself. This year was suppose to be the year I got in shape. It did not turn out that way. I had hoped that I would inspire other people instead I just can't find the inspiration for myself. I don't think I am going to find it at a Christmas party where everyone is going to be drinking.
I did buy an app that has helped me have a more positive frame of mind. It ask you a series of 5 questions every morning. I have only had it for three days...I hope this acts as a spring board into more action that I can take to get my ass out of the comfortable chair and exercise.
The couple in the Bay look like they are having a great time while I was eating crab at the party. Do you attend many Christmas parties?
It's tough, I have a small biz and would love to do more for holidays for my team but it's so lean. The liability was always a nail biting issue, so very true there.
ReplyDeleteWe're not doing as many this year- small business events alwasy pop up, but we've decided to tone down and spend more quiet time w/our boys while they have any interest in being with us (closing in on 13!)
A beautiful picture, but what are they doing? Sorry I'm not an ocean girl ;)
ReplyDeleteAbout your quest, I think the answer is do what it makes you happy, and do it only for yourself, otherwise it doesn't work.
And no I don't attend to Christmas parties, I'm a bit Scrooge :D
No Christmas parties for us either as we no longer work and for us Christmas is a time to spend with family and friends.
ReplyDeleteThe couple in the bay are Paddle Boarding. It is like a surf board, but they paddle like a canoe. They have on full wet suits. The water is freezing cold.
ReplyDeleteHave a great one everyone!!!
I'm right there with ya on the "this was the year I was going to get ins shape" Didn't achieve that goal! I'm determined for next year!!
ReplyDeleteWhat app did you get? I have the Gratitude Journal that I really like since it forces me to focus on the positive rather than the negative!
