Christmas Eve represents that of anticipation – anticipation of the next day, of better times, of new things, of joy and celebration. It is in our human nature to crave something to look forward to. And although this year’s holiday season may feel and be different, we can still anticipate something of joy in the future. As we have found in the past, sometimes the planning can be just as much fun as the actual event. So, maybe this year what we do is plan for the future and a next year that resembles more normalcy. How about we look forward to a large gathering, cocktails, a dinner party, and endless hugs!
As you celebrate the holidays this year, find something, if not many things, to be grateful for. We are grateful for our family and our dear friends who, like family, keep us going with their love and support. We are grateful to our blog readers and hope that we have helped you through difficult times. We hope that our writings have made you feel less alone during the political struggles of the day and provided you with encouragement.
We believe that no person is an island but there are a few (not to mention any names) whom we would like to put on one! In listening to our own advice, we will take a holiday from the negative and embrace the positive. We would like to join you in celebrating the possibilities of the future and of being a part of making this happen. We have much to be grateful for in a world that remains a challenge but that also is filled with opportunity.
Be Kind, Listen, and Love for this is what all beings crave.
