Christmas Blessings

Today is a very special Saturday so I will keep this short.  As I wrote down the title for this blog I originally named it “Christmas Wish”, but then I realized a wish implies something you don’t have but hope to get. 

So this is not a wish, as these blessings surround you every day, it’s just that sometimes it takes a holiday to fully appreciate them.

As you go about your day, watch out for the following Christmas Blessings.  When you see them, stop for a quick second, say to yourself “This is a blessing”, look around and feel all the warm emotions of the moment, then go on with what you were doing.  It’s as simple as that.
 
Blessings can be found:

• when you are cooking/baking your favorite holiday recipes.
• with a strong, warm hug.   
• in your child’s uncontainable excitement.
• opening a gift.
• singing your favorite song.
• in a treasured tradition.
• looking around the room at your family and friends.
• appreciating the beauty of the lights, the tree and all the decorations.  
• by realizing that this moment is perfect just the way it is.

Now I must go, there are cookies to be made and presents to be wrapped.

Cheers to you and a day full of blessings and joy.

Joy-FULLy Yours,
