Holiday Reflection 2015
Holidays are set apart times. We step out of our normal lives - out of the frenzied pace, demands, and deadlines - and take time to reflect on light, hope, and love. Holidays give us permission to see the world in a different way. During these times, we are encouraged to be thankful, to give to others, and to support those who are vulnerable. The themes of kindness, care, and redemption that are woven into our cultures, surface and become more prominent during these special times.
I find this remarkable. That we, collectively, agree, that at certain times during the year, we are going to be extra kind and giving to one another. From what I can tell, there is no top down holiday planning commission that makes this happen. Instead, this is a natural process that spontaneously emerges during the holiday season.

Festive and Holidays Seasons always makes me aware how important it is to be thankful, to be grateful ,to appreciate and treasure the love and support I get from my own children and spouse. I have this lovely warmth and smile when I think of them. This warm feeling I have in my heart inspires me and gives me strength to love, to be compassionate and share with everyone and anyone.
