What do you do with your holiday cards, or any other "special mail" that you want to keep? FIRST, I am here giving you permission if you don't have a lot of room, and have too many special cards every year, please let them go, recycle them and make room for the ones to come in 2021. I usually take that route- I love getting the cards and having them hang in my hallway, for the holiday season, then take them down, add any new addresses or birthdays to my contacts in my phone and recycle them. ALSO it is OK to keep them as long as it is with intention and they are kept in an organized way. Piled all over the house, or shoved into a box that is shoved in a closet is not what I am talking about. This year I decided to try something different, I am going to make it a goal to keep all of the special mail (my kids get cards from all of the grandparents for all of the holidays plus all of the holiday cards, baby or graduation announcements, and wedding invitations...
As important as it is to have a schedule and how most of us thrive when we know what is coming up and what is expected of us and our day, flexibility is equally as important. Things happen, things we can't predict or imagine would happen, do happen. We need to be able to move with those things. We need to teach our kids that when our lives change we are still in control of us and we can make the choice to move with it. Fighting it just makes us more frustrated and feeling out of control and helpless. When you teach flexibility you teach them to be more balanced and able to continue to get tasks done.
