The evening is quickly approaching and after recovering from eating a holiday lunch I will soon be headed to a holiday dinner...then a holiday dessert party. I have never had more food, or sweets than during this Christmas break. If you know me personally, you know I don't have a sweet tooth, but I think I must have developed one recently. I'm surprised my pants still fit... Though it makes me fat I think people give me all this stuff because they don't think I am as fat as I think I am... so they give me bags and boxes of chocolate. It doesn't help that I've learned how to make apple cider and just recently the fridge was full of cream puffs and cakes in a jar from Beta-5. Now they are almost gone... oopsie... Recovery from this will be hard but it's evidence of the great abundance in my life which I am so grateful for. So this Christmas don't worry about having fat bellies, or feeling too exhausted from socializing. Don't feel overwhelmed by the gifts you recieve or those you have to give. All it means is that you life is full of love and abundance.
Though, on the radio, I am reminded that this is a hard time of the year for many out there. With that I can relate too. I've had low Christmas's and I have had great ones. It's pretty hyped up. It's the worst time to be down in the dumps. For some reason, being down in the dumps is relative to time of the year. If it is summer time and your down in the dumps at least there is sunshine. If it's fall, that bad weather really knocks things down a bit. But if it's Christmas... Christmas! All hell break loose, it's a bunch of BS! I know how you feel. Last year as I was going through a rough time during Christmas and the last thing I wanted to be reminded of was love and happiness blah blah blah. I wish for those who are feeling a little low to know that Christmas is a truly a time to be with those that care about you. If you have caring people around you then you are lucky. If you've struggled to have loving family members around you be thankful for those who have volunteered to be a part of your life. If you feel truly alone, be thankful for your spirit because it is your closest friend and will always be there for you. Christmas means nothing else. It doesn't have anything to do with what you want or what you have. That's just the commercialized part of Christmas. It doesn't have to do with having successes or failures. It's a time to just be and feel grateful to have life. You don't have to have everything you want or need in this moment. Life isn't summed in this two week period. It's just part of the journey.
To all my friends and family, or any passerby reading this post, I wish you a beautiful Christmas. I wish your bellies to be full of delicious food, laughter and gratitude. I also wish for you to make the most precious memories in the remaining moments of 2014. Christmas is a "season" that marks a time to cherish life. It reminds us to make dull moments precious. It gives more value to our time. It's a time for everyone to practice gratefulness before the new year approaches. So with love to all those I know, and all the souls that I have yet to meet and even to those I will never meet, may you be filled with joy, abundance and gratitude!
Merry Christmas!
