Ahh…the holidays. Probably the most fun and one of the most stressful times of the year for people. Most look forward to the beauty of the season, lights and decorations, gifts to give and get, and spending quality time with friends and family.
I don’t like being a wet blanket about this, but for a lot of people, the holiday season is not so good. People struggle with past and many times ongoing family problems. And it’s not like the movies. It’s not a comedy, and problems aren’t resolved for a happy ending in the space of the 2 hours. Sometimes family life growing up was not so good. And it’s not easy spending time with people who should have been loving and protective and kind, but were not.
And society pressures each of us to have close relationships with family, enjoy our time together, and love each other. This makes life even more difficult for those who don’t like their family so much.
I offer to everyone that each day is a new day. Each day offers you an opportunity to begin healing from your wounds, and letting your past be in the past and not rule your present.
What I like about this time of year is the theme of healing and love. Embrace that theme, and if you don’t know how, or where to start, find someone who can help you do this.
