So often we allow our worries to steal our joys… specially more so during the holidays. It’s that time of year where we think of family and as the year draws to and end we also think of what we did and could have done.
Sometimes we fall victim to looking outside of ourselves and that can be the worst thing we do; in that trip of looking out we might begin to believe that others live that perfect life, in the perfect relationship and the perfect family. But truth is… everyone is doing the best with what they have.
… and what would be Christmas – without musicians. I snuck a clip of Geordan playing his double base. I titled it: Somewhere It’s Christmas.
What good does it do to focus on the darkness – perhaps a quick peek just long enough to appreciate the blessings. I hope that this Holiday allowed much inner thought and that the New Year exceeds your expectations.
