Letting go so delight can come in ..

Most wonderful time of the year … is it?

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks dressed in holiday style. You know the lyrics to Silver Bells. But these days the city sidewalks may not be as bustling as cities still struggle to recover from the pandemic. But one thing that CAN endure is the hope for peace on earth, good will toward (wo)men. Can we at least try that?

Sure, the political vitriol is ever bubbling and at times one wonders how it can get any hotter. But my hope is that we take this holiday season to rethink how we treat others. Are you harboring a grudge, stoking anger, nurturing a hurt, burnishing a jealousy? To what end? The research is clear that all THAT kind of energy is wasted. Moreover it steals your joy. As Elsa, the character in FROZEN sings, LET IT GO. From VeryWellMind.com - “holding on can trap you in a loop of resentment, bitterness, hopelessness, emptiness, or enragement.” So how about you give yourself and others the gift of letting go this ‘season of giving’ and make room for accepting - accepting that some things will never change, that some people are who they are, that you can move on and craft your future.

… And to all a good night ..

Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2023!
