After the cacophony of yesterday, reflecting on finding peace amongst all the discordant noise means stepping back and sitting in quiet. Again, this is part of being kind to yourself during times when so much noise is coming from so many directions and it is doing nothing to add to your holiday spirit. And if we are not feeling the holiday spirit, how can we be presenting our best selves to others? So for those friends in Minnesota, today is a day to embrace the release from the below zero numbness and step outside and enjoy all that nature has to offer when we have these brief periods of weather rebounds. I admit, pulling snow off of my roof was not exactly embracing all that nature has to offer, but at the same time it was a lot easier chore to do in above 30 than below zero! (I'll take the small wins anytime I can.) I will hope that anyone reading this post today may be able to carve out a brief period to sit in quiet and reflect on all that is good in your life right now. And afterwards, may you be able to present your best possible holiday spirit to others.
And should the spirit move you, use the comments feature to share how you are doing now amidst this holiday season with all the contradictions we have in our current lives and the lives of others around us.
