Every year, I like to write a holiday post for those out there who might be sad over the holidays. I’m here to say it’s okay to have an ordinary day. I get that many people are happy and filled with love for family, festivities, food and gifts. Others are majorly depressed and even suicidal. I used to fall into the majorly depressed category on Christmas, so I took the pressure off by not celebrating it. No tree. No gifts. No special food. No family. None of that stuff. It’s not that I’m heartless or not a loving person. It’s that I have to put myself first and do things a certain way in order to survive… and to stay sober. It’s okay if you treat the holidays as any other day too. It really is! Don’t consider it as giving in to depression. Don’t feel like you are less than because you can’t keep up with the others. Don’t feel horrid because you can’t feel gratitude for anything right now. Just let the day pass. Don’t put pressure on yourself to be happy. Don’t feel guilty if you are sad, mad or hurt. Don’t worry about disappointing others. Give yourself permission to survive even you are hurting. Let the day pass. Trust me when I say I understand how you feel. I woke up today not even realizing it was Christmas. Instead, my thoughts were on how I get to cut fabric all day. How I have a nice steak waiting for me. How I will make my mother spaghetti for lunch. How I will prep for my fabric sales. In other words, it’s a typical day for me. It’s what I do every single day. No change in my routine. It’s what I love. It’s what I need. It’s what I must do. My wish for everyone is to just be okay with an ordinary day. It really is freeing to let go of the pressure. Everyone deserves that freedom!

INGREDIENTS: DIRECTIONS: 1: Heat oven to 425°F. Line two 15x10x1-inch with foil, and spray with cooking spray. 2: In large bowl, add chicken wings and oil and mix well. Stir in ranch dressing mix and toss to coat evenly. 3: Spread wings in pans. Bake 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and turn wings over. Return to oven, rotating pans, and continue baking 15 to 20 minutes or until no longer pink and temperature at least 165°F. Search for stuff you need on Amazon, on and at ! Darlene’s Tips: For hot and spicy wings, add a bit of to the mix. You can if you want them to be more crispy. Serve with or of your choice.

If someone does not ask for advice, do not give advice. They didn’t ask for it. If someone asks for advice, do not give advice. They have already made up their mind and they just want to test you to see if you agree or not. If someone says “I don’t know what to do,” that is a statement, not a question. They did not ask for advice. Do not give advice. If you push through and give advice because you are sure you have the best advice, guess what? You don’t. Bottom line is don’t give advice. P.S. I don’t ask for advice. I don’t want advice. I like to think things through and come up with my own solutions. If it works, I take credit. If it doesn’t work, I can’t blame you for giving me lousy advice. BE COOL -> Subscribe to my Youtube channel I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links.
