this is going to be the first Christmas after four,that i am going to be spending alot of it alone. back just a couple weeks ago i was already putting into motion the thoughts to make it miserable.....i know there are alot of us on here dealing with the same thing to lesser or more degrees,so PLEASE--lets not be depressed,sad or lonely..............instead-----let's think about expectations.and how many times we have mistakenly put our expectations on other people-family,spouses,lovers,friends,and even SANTA!!!lets remember that only WE can fill our expectations.at least the ones that really matter. let's remember you can be with others,and still feel alone.
lets think of the good moments in our pasts and cherish those,while letting go of the not so good ones.let's remember that ALL of it--is LIFE. let's be thankful,REALLY thankful for the good things we do have in our lives, and be HOPEFUL for changes for the not so good. let's realize that we may have sooo much more than we think we have. the moments we find ourselves alone,let's be true to ourselves. appreciating ourselves. let's truly believe that it is not in the presents,it is not in the company, it is within ourselves.
let's put on some music and dance.and sing.or take a bubble bath,put on a cozy robe, light some candles,have some hot chocolate,and enjoy the lights on the tree. get dressed up for no one but ourselves.really,truly believe that all of us,no matter our size,looks,color,have the potential to be beautiful.its not in losing whats wrong with us--its in losing our attitudes.let's play with our pets,take a ride and look at the lights while stopping to look at the sky and realizing there is a whole world out there. a whole galaxie............not just what we choose to dwell on. and it is there.....every day--not just today. may we all find peace,serenity,good will,and most of all--ourselves.
