The angels said to the shepherds, "be of courage. Tonight is born a King."
There's something in there about the journey from boy to man in the story. There's something about the journey from dark to light--shortest day of the year to summer.
As we set goals at work in our performance reviews, as we revisit our families of origin... As we build our families of choice, this is a time of year for reflection. What went well, what would I change?
It is time to call upon support--the darker the days, the more help we need and DESERVE. Call dear friends. Acknowledge those who have been of greatest support this year. The gift of saying, "thank you" thoughtfully is worth diamonds and other expensive things we feel obliged to purchase and wrap and send. Focus most on the thought behind the giving, rather than the thing, especially if to do so stretches an already tight spending plan.
Focus on the spirit behind the gratitude. People will feel that more: it's less the action than the intention and the expression of that intention with others that is the gift. That is also crucial as you spread love at work.
Live well.
