Two days until Christmas and not a lot is happening because we don’t do much more than one or two jobs a day. The joys of being retired! We love it! There is some cleaning going on and extra shopping for Christmas dinner but overall, the daily walks continue, and we aren’t much into stressing ourselves out.
Granted we don’t have kids and grandkids to buy for and get all excited with but that doesn’t stop me from being excited about the beauty and the wonder of the season.
I love the meaning I have given Christmas in the last few decades. We may be celebrating the birth of Jesus but for me it’s celebrating the continuous birthing of Christ consciousness within. It isn’t a singular event but rather an evolution that brings more light and more joy and more love into the heart. It isn’t so much about family for me, though it was great to see my family last weekend, rather it’s about the growing love for all humanity no matter what is going on and the growing realization of our Divine Nature and our Oneness.
Yes, I am celebrating with a grateful and joyful heart, and I am also feeling the grief for people around me who have experienced loss and are struggling. The other day I was sitting in the living room listening to Christmas music and crying tears of grief, gratitude, overflowing love and the fullness of life. I cherish those moments and my wish for you is that you have such full and rich moments this Holiday Season too.
Namaste
