‘Tis the season to be jolly…break out the egg nog and mistletoe. Sometimes the holiday season can be difficult for people who do not have loved ones to share it with. Family is so important but I also know that family is who you make it. So even though you might not have traditional family members, remember we have friends that give us the love and comfort we need. That is what makes the holiday season special. Those special moments shared in the presence of others are what make it memorable.
I also find that giving to others warms the heart, try to find a charitable organization in your community and volunteer. There are so many people in need and by giving to others, in return you are also giving to yourself.
The holiday season can be so nostaligic, with the smell of pine from the Christmas trees, holiday lights, Christmas music, the hussle and bussle of the Christmas shoppers in the mall makes it so special. Just be reminded that if this season tends to bring you down for being single, or having lost a loved one, or being alone, or whatever sad emotion brings you down, try to remember the things in your life that you are blessed with. It’s not about what we have in our lives but who we have in our lives that makes a difference. Do something nice for yourself, treat yourself to that dream vacation or that cashmiere sweater you have had your eye on…whatever it is that makes you feel good, be sure to do that. It’s important to nurture ourselves so we can be a blessing to those we love.
~Namaste
