Wow, where did this month go? Hope everyone is enjoying a healthy and happy Christmas and holiday season with their families today. Thanks to Marcia for offering the monthly Runfessions linkup today. These are always some of my favorite posts to write and read. I will be sharing my Runfessions Island Style today.
Runfessions Island Style
I Runfess…
We are just wrapping up our last day here in Aruba. I feel so fortunate to have had these last few weeks here to relax and feel a little more “normal”. It’s been incredible to spend time both alone with my husband and with our kids the last half. We indeed feel very blessed.
I also Runfess…
I am ready to come home now. It’s been great to have the chance to run on the beach, enjoy the warm air and take in the sunsets. However, there is no place like home. Looking forward to getting back into my routine at home.

I am seriously envious of your lengthy time away to the beach! One thing I’ve heard over and over in my exam rooms this year is parents and kids telling me how much this year has brought them closer together; that they’ve enjoyed some really good family time. I agree! I hope that continues, even when things open back up. Safe travels, my friend!
Deborah Brooks says
We have had some really great family time and that is always a plus. It has been a gift to be together safely. I am sure my kids are ready to get back to socializing with their friends though.

So glad that you were able to enjoy your family in such a beautiful place. It’s been such a hard year so being able to get away is definitely a good thing! Hope your travel back home is seamless – have a good weekend!

How nice that you got to get away to some sea and sunshine ( especially this time of year). But I agree with you, it is always nice to get back home! -M
