When we celebrate love EVERY day, we can truly celebrate Christmas Day. Otherwise, we’re just going through the motions. We’re being naughty all year and nice on Christmas … but is that really nice?
I know I can do better. I still catch myself cringing at people, situations, myself. I close my eyes, take a deep breath, or two, or three, and return to love. But I want to STAY in love. And I’m not giving up.
For now, I’m sensitive to cringing. I do my best to look at it honestly. I’m learning not to judge. Most of the time, it’s easy; and I’m grateful for that. But I’m also grateful that life presents ever more challenging lessons to purify my concept of love. There are moments when I think enough already, enough learning, but I don’t really want to stop growing.
I want to keep going deeper, to be impeccably honest with myself about just how pure love is. I want to shine brighter tomorrow than I do today. I want to love myself and you better. And I will.
Merry Christmas!
Love smiles,
