CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS
Family, friends, lovers, and even strangers, provide much of our Holiday attitude. Also, those crabby shoppers whom just ruin so many days as they are impatient, rude, and, just angry about having to stand and wait their turn, or they don’t like spending money… You know what I am talking about. I try not to let these sour people spoil my moment ever, but, you know, around Christmas, there are quite a few of them, all distempered, causing trouble everywhere they go… Anyway, they do affect what should be a wonderful time, but, not for long, for as soon as they are gone, we look forward to those who make us happy, and, with all we have to do, our minds are beyond that scene quickly…
I reflect much around the Holidays. I consider the past year; the mistakes, the failures, and all the wonderful times. Then, I am eagerly looking forward to the New Year like that is a fix all… We all do that, as if some magical process begins with the ringing of the New Year chimes… Ha! It is funny in retrospect, still, it is human nature and we play upon it magnificently…
At the stroke of 12 on New Year’s Eve, we forget all about the past year, and, look expectantly towards the new year. We are sure that we are going to get that big break, that our business is going to grow beyond expectancy, that our love life will flourish, that enemies will become friends, that we will achieve all which we choose to… Yes, it is exciting, and a bit unrealistic, but hey, it provides inspiration, drive, and, renewed vigor, plus, it keeps us busy through the rather stagnant winter months…
I have my whole future planned out, which begins after Christmas… Hahaha… I love it! It just seems that in this magical season that anything is probable, and, it fires me up to no end. I am at my best come the New Year. I do not make resolutions, rather goals and aspirations, as to me, resolutions are set ups for disappointment, whereas goals and aspirations are a foundation for motivation…
It is a strange human condition which leads us to believe that one particular hour can change our direction, isn’t it? However, it is rejuvenating, it is refreshing for the mind and spirit, and, it actually can spin out some creative ventures, which will see results, so, it is not entirely in vain…
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and, a fun filled Holiday season. May you feel the magic of it, embrace it, raise it up in a toast, and, use it to your greatest advantage in the coming year….
