Merry Christmas

“We expect too much at Christmas. It’s got to be magical. It’s got to go right. Feasting. Fun. The perfect present. All that anticipation. Take it easy. Love’s the thing. The rest is tinsel.” —Pam Brown 

If we’re truly honoring and celebrating Christmas, let’s take its core message to heart throughout the coming year. Let’s try to imagine living each day with more kindness, less confrontation. More compassion, less arrogance. More civility, less hostility. More generosity, less greed. More humility, less egotism. More honesty, less deception. More love, less hate. We could lead by example — and just imagine what a gift it would be if everyone conspired to do the same.

I’m sending love and gratitude to all of you who subscribe to these posts. Your emails and encouragement always inspire me and keep me going. Thank you.

I’ll be spending the next few days recovering from the flu and recovering my energy for the new year. ~CL
