Dear Precious Ones,
I haven't posted this past week or more because sometimes I don't have words or know what to say or even how to say something.
This time of year does something to me. Parts of me is excited, joyful, grateful and delighted to be alive and well and be connected to family and friends. I look forward to spending time with my beloved and our family and especially being with gorgeous grandchildren and hearing their laughs and stories over the next few days.
Other parts of me remembers the loss of parents, grandparents, grandchildren, family members, and others I miss at this time of year and my heart aches for times past and people gone from earth. May they rest in the arms of Love.
My heart still aches for loss of dreams and hopes, relationships and separations that hurt others, and hurt us all. I wish all well.
I think of people who are homeless and remember times in my life when I struggled financially, and I send blessings, and donate when I can.
Christmas songs about love and hope, and holy families sometimes catches my breath, and I remind myself it is about being human that's important, and to let go of the idealistic promotion of some kind of elusive perfection...all is well, and good enough is ok.
I send blessings to any person struggling with physical, mental, emotional or spiritual issues. You will get through the next few days.
If you are feeling low and alone today, just know that tomorrow is another day, that someone cares about you, that you are worthy of love and respect, and I hope in these words you will hear kindness and no judgement from me. I know what it feels like to be judged, miserable, lonely, anxious, and lost. Take deep breaths, reach out, connect with someone, ask for help. Precious human being, please don't give up!
And so it's here, it's afternoon on Christmas Eve. The house is warm, the tree is lit, all is well and I'm heading to meet some family members. I want to take their beautiful faces in my hands and kiss them, and hug them tightly and tell them I treasure and fiercely and deeply love each one of them...I think it might be a bit too much though...so I'll probably say Happy Christmas, what are you drinking? Who knows after that!
