Music

I'm listening to Christmas music from a TV channel.  It is so easy to feel love, joy, peace, connection, happiness and 'whole-ness' as I listen to my favorite Christmas songs.   It is a tradition, a mainstay; something many do during this holiday season. 

Christmas is a very holy holiday.  It is the day Christians and others celebrate the birth of Jesus; the gift of giving, the joy of receiving, and the 'presence' of sharing time with each other.

Just taking a break from the daily grind; the average day; the normal in and out daily routine; our world slows down for a week or so as we usher in the New Year with hope, starting over; new year's resolutions and, perhaps, the most important... sharing our full 'presence' with each other instead of being concerned, worried or obligated to 'drive' to the next responsibility, job, errand, chore, obligation... it's a beautiful gift this season can offer us.

May you allow your holiday season to be what it is, as it is.  May you enjoy the old traditions as you allow new traditions to create themselves as you accept who, what, where and how you and your life are today. 

My wish is by accepting and doing what works best for you today; you can allow joy, love and peace in your heart as it connects to your soul and, together, you have a lovely self to share with all those you encounter.

Merry Christmas; Happy Holidays; Happy Hanukkah...  May you accept yourself as 'whole' during this holy season.
