Celebrate It All

At the end of the day, the fact we have the courage to still be standing
is reason enough to celebrate.

I woke up this morning feeling angry.  As I lay in bed, I could just feel the anger pouring out of me.  Anger about rushing to get things done in prep for the holiday season.  Anger for having to do things I really don't want to do.  This anger was hard not to notice, so I took a shower hoping to wash it off me.  It didn't work.  I still felt angry, so I put on some jazz Christmas music, sat on the sofa with Grace the Cat, and started to journal about my emotions.  Questions like:

• What is this emotion?
• Why am I feeling this way?
• Is there an underlying story?
• Or am I picking up someone else's emotion?   

And then it dawned on me...

This isn't my anger!
Anger is in the air these days! 

Then I checked my email box, saw this message, and said, "AHA." I think this is a message everyone needs today.

"It's sometimes easier to focus on all the things we need to do - and we all know that list never ends...Challenge yourself today to pause, take a breath, and focus on what you have done, how you have grown, and the intangible ways you have deepened into yourself."

In a world filled with negative emotions right now,
wishing you a holiday season of compassion and grace!

Happy Holidays!
