truth and consequences

Today, I arranged a family call, with all the members of my "current" family, Dad, sisters, children and new spouse.  We live all over the country, and generally don't go traveling to visit each other for Christmas.  It was a very pleasant call with 8 people on the line.

Afterwards, I needed to rest and wondered about all the socializing others would be doing.  I reflected on how I got to where I am, spending Christmas "alone". 
Things I can and can't do now.

I t is a bit different, I have some feelings swirling around.  That is real, and gets to be included in my Christmas, 


Unique for each of us. to experience

I use gratitude to shift my  attention,  and own my feelings.  Rest is good, it is after all the birth of the Christ Child, so how do we take care of that new child within?

"Christmas and the Holy Days remind us to make more space for spirit - to make more space in ourselves and in the world for Divinity. It’s time to step up our appreciation for the Source of our being and the purpose for which we are here.

I am also thinking about those who are less fortunate, and send them prayers and love that they are not forgotten.


Perhaps you are wondering about your own experience of Christmas this year,  What is real for you?  Give yourself a big hug, you are loved unconditionally.
