Well it's that time of year again. Family time! Many of us go into a myriad of mood swings during the holiday season. Some dread the holy-days and some love them. How about we try a new method this year?
I love my family so much because through the years I have realized what an amazing gift each one of them has been. We get together so infrequently now with our busy schedules that I miss them. Was this always the case? No, because they drove me crazy too. And sometimes when we're all together it's pretty loud. But I love it all. I got to this point by beginning to recognize what a gift each person is in my life. My mom, my big sis, my bro's, my nieces, my great niece and nephews, even my dad who showed up late and is no longer with us. It's easy to see the gift of my daughters of course! We don't know how much time we have with these gifts called family. So how about this holiday we start to re-cog-nize how they've been a gift and show it! Yeah, I know, it's not always easy when those buttons get pushed but how about we disengage the button for the next six weeks and just let the unconditional love button flow?
Simple Everyday Spiritual Practice
Love unconditionally and give thanks for each family member, whether they are here or passed on. TRULY be in appreciation of the gift that their presence has been in your life. You might just be in the holiday's with a new cheer this year. I know I will!
Peace and love,
