My Holiday Wish for You.....
FEELING TIME PASSING:
Days & months fly by in the blink of an eye. But each of us, I believe, has his or her own personal Wake Up Call to Time's passing, whether it be Nature & the change of Seasons, our Birthday, the Holidays, or something else. That personal Trigger can be a Time to be Startled into Contemplating, "Am I where I want to be? Doing what I'm meant to be doing? Am I Spending my Time on a Daily Basis pursuing My Calling?
"SPENDING" OUR TIME
Where are we Spending our Time? Are we focused on our Career & working so hard we don't make ample time for those we care about? During The Holidays our Culture dictates we spend time with Family & Friends, some of whom we haven't seen for some time. When we gather together to re connect, we share The State of our lives through conversation. We can't help but to face, The State of Our Lives.
THE "HOLIDAZE"
It is so easy to be Entranced in the Commercialism & Materialism of the Season as we are bombarded from every direction through the media to buy, buy, buy.
Do we ever stop to think how challenging and simply disheartening The Holidays can be for those who can't buy? Today, I overheard an interaction in the Laundromat between 2 acquaintances. The woman asked the man, "How are your Holidays going?" He replied. "I don't think we're going to be able to buy much this year, but we'll make it through."
