I have learned that I have the ability to rise to the occasion even in uncertain circumstances.
I succeeded. I wrapped all of my presents, baked all of my cookies and cooked a delicious dinner in time for Christmas.
However, because of all of the angst leading up to Christmas Day, I can't say that I have mastered the holiday routine just yet. Indeed, it is quite likely that I will doubt my ability to make the next holiday dinner. For now, though, I'll revel in my success and do a little victory dance while chanting, "I did not drop the torch! I did not drop the torch! I did not drop the torch!".
