I hope all of you are enjoying this season of love. Historically, I have felt overcome with the pressures of getting presents bought and wrapped for all on my list. Add to that the other pressures that I allowed to consume me. I had such a hard time savoring the season for what it was suppose to be. I knew that I had it wrong, and I kept saying that I needed to change my ways. I complained to family and friends-they always agreed with me, but for years I continued in the same trap. I am not sure how I have changed, but I find that I have slowed down and am not letting the pressures get to me. In fact in I have dropped a few of the self and societally imposed pressures. Finally after all these years, I realize that it is more important to be present in the season than rushing around doing things.
It is a beautiful crisp day up here is Centerville. My life is still a bit unsettled since the move, but I feel a growing sense of peace and love. In this wonderful season and throughout the year, I am wishing everyone peace and love. Let go of all the artificial pressures and let us come together realizing that every one of us is connected with love. Susan
