Hi,
It's the Holiday Season again. What feelings do the winter holidays conger up in you? Peace, love, joy; disappointment, depression, anxiety; or just the overall stress of trying to get it all done and done right?
I changed my approach to the holidays after one particularly frustrating season when I wrote this poerm.
Christmas Joy
I say and hear the words anew each year at Christmas time of brotherhood, of joy and love and Jesus born again.
The meaning’s hard to find at times among the season’s trappings dare I forget some cookies, guests, presents, food or wrappings.
Where is the joy I ask myself in Santa here so early, in going shopping with a smile returning mean and burly,
in stuffing the bird before the meal, the stuffed people groaning after, in giving a gift knowing deep down it’s not quite what they wanted,
in being too drained for reaching out no time for rest around… They say that suicide is high depression often found.
Where is the joy I ask myself while drinking more dry wine, I know it’s here to be found soon as I find the time. Aila Accad
When I wrote this poem, it became clear that focusing on accomplish ing all the “stuff” to set up the holiday did not create the ideal day I expected. What is the solution to having too much to do and not enough time to create the “perfect” holiday?
I have included two articles below for you that can help focus your attention and encourage you to make changes in perspective and past traditions that are no longer serving the purpose they once intended.
The Holidays tend to fling your thoughts back and forth into the past and future. Staying present to make clear choices in the moment about what you want to do and how you want to feel just takes a little conscious intention, awareness and choice.
