Christmas is coming to town!!!!!

It is that time of the year once again! Snow is anticipated for Toronto and shovels and salt are waiting patiently. I am now in my new location for almost two weeks and it is going fine. As one door closes, another opens and this is simply another chapter of my life moving forward. Sometimes we have time to reflect etc....Other times we must make quick decisions and this was one quick descision. Christmas can be wonderful for some people (myself included. It is my favourite). For others the thought of Family gatherings, shopping etc....is a nightmare. Was Christmas a time of joy for you? Is the holiday season and celebration a time of bad memories for you? I try to accomodate as many people during the holiday season because for some it is the most devestating time of the year. Perhaps this holiday season, you will allow yourself to step back and take a look at your life through different lens. If you are happy with life, that is great! However, if you are not, take time to discern. What can you do to change things? What can you do to balance your life a bit more? Are you in a balanced relationship? Do you find yourself always giving or always taking? Is that fair? Do you find that you are overburdened with addictions? Is it time to stop blaming others and learn how to deal with problems without reaching out for that bottle, shopping spree, gambling machine? One thing we do have within a free society is choice. Why not make today a choice for you to take a different avenue? What do you think?
