What does this month mean to you? For many it's hurry and scurry, hustle and bustle of holiday chaos and craziness, but it's also delightful, full of joy and excitement, and magical, I think. Of course, it can be challenging and mayhem and s-t-r-e-s-ssssss.....(which actually, it has ALWAYS been for me), but I'm getting better at managing things and can finally enjoy the actual season.
Maybe it's all in how we look at things....I used to feel absolutely destroyed around the holidays, missing what should have been, grieving for what didn't materialize, mourning for expectations and false promises. But in recent years (again, there's where we start to wise up I think, as we get older), I've come to realize true joy is not what we were told as kids, taught by our parents, or instilled with a false sense of entitlement. It is the ability to make someone's life better, help a fellow human out, volunteer, or spread kindness, and in discovering that way of life, is where we truly begin to experience the real magic of the holiday season. Yes, I still struggle and have my sad moments, trying to move past "what was" (and what wasn't), and I tend to miss things more around this time of the year. But in finding gratitude for all the gifts in my life....I've tried hard to change how I view this month.
