My Black History: Day 20.
I'm honoring my lovely, Black-self on this lovely Friday. It's been quite nice reflecting on my own Black History throughout this month. Sure we have our common Black History themes annually and the reminders about who paved the way for so many of us today, which is necessary, but far too often we are persuaded to behave like, appear like, and to lead our lives like others. I have a right to turn inward and to concentrate on my own life without feeling guilty, which is exactly what I do here in "this" blog.
I'm so glad to be back!
Welcome to my Black present!

Without Mine. For Christmas.
Last year, my daughters spent Christmas Day with their fathers. It was their first time doing so. I would've never imagined this to take place a short while back.
At first, I thought being without my children on such a significant holiday would feel lonely. I couldn't have been anymore wrong. My first Christmas solo since becoming a parent was a relaxing. Knowing that my daughters were with their other halves was a delightful feeling. They were safe and surrounded by family.
Isn't that what the holiday season's about? Right.
I have yet to plan spending an "adult-only" holiday with my friends. Of course I could've made arrangements to do so long ago, but my guilty conscious about leaving my children behind has always bothered me. I'm sure they would've been fine with my family if I had gone out on such occasion.
There is something refreshing about my daughters being in the care of their dads. I understand what's out of my control and I'm cool with "it." I cannot tell these men what to do or how to be when my daughters are with them. They're their babies too and because the time spent is so limited, I think they all appreciate their moments together. For my girls and I, it's break from one-another that's so necessary.
If it only happens for Christmas; we'll take it!
I don't get many presents on Christmas nor do I pass many out. The children (mine, friends/family) are usually who we shop for. When the budget allows, I'll go the extra mile to surprise others.
Guess who gets to sleep in on Christmas Day? Yes, me!
I'm so accustomed to going to bed late on Christmas Eve due to last minute Santa set-ups and such (laughing out loud). Sleeping in is a present alone. One that I cannot wait to take complete advantage of. Guilt-free because my daughters will be enjoying their time with their daddy's!
I thank GOD!!! :D
