I have had quite a few Christmases when I was all alone. This year, I am not alone for Christmas, but I know this day can be a lonely day and time of the year.
If you are feeling lonely today, don’t. You may not feel like you are connected to others, but you are. We are all interconnected on our various paths towards self-growth and everlasting life, or rest, whatever your beliefs may be.
Take this day and make it kind and encouraging. Wear your favourite Snuggie. Watch your favourite movie. Make yourself a tasty meal. Or, close your eyes and tap into a metta (loving kindness) meditation to feel connected to all living things.
This day is a day for you, and you are its artist. Don’t feel alone. We are all interconnected in mysterious ways.
And if you are Christian, remember that this is the day God blessed us with renewal and redemption through the birth of Christ. And that is a wonderful gift of connection and growth.
Have a Happy Holiday season and a Merry Christmas.
