Greetings Dear Reader,
This Christmas will be odd for me. I face being away from many that I am used to
seeing. When I place so much of my
celebration of the day on family this proves to be daunting in simply pondering
it. Add to that the possibility that
Thanksgiving may be the same and it doubles the potential difficulty for me.
The must-dos and conclusions will have to wait until closing
on this one but there is groundwork that needs laying. What I do need to consider is that there are
many that will have it worse that I will.
There are those who spend all of the holy days alone when they would
prefer not to do so. I am not gong to be
alone but I will be in a different situation than I have been.
It drives home for me that I need to begin now to look at
what I do have. It is my obligation to
focus on what is real about these days.
It is my responsibility to remember that the emphasis is to be on
gratitude and celebration. It is not
time to mourn what I wish was true. It
is time to see what is there to count as a blessing.
As I build toward the conclusion of this short journey, I
must remember that I control so little of what happens. I cannot make things the way I wish them to
be. I can control my heart, mind, and
attitude so that I focus on love, gratitude, and celebration of the beautiful
things that are.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
