People everywhere are telling me how busy they are. "I can't possibly fit another thing into the holidays...I'm completely booked." Long lineups to buy stuff, slow traffic and erratic driving, staff parties, socials, the neighbours and cooking and cleaning and more presents for the ones you forgot, then baking, going to work, another social and lots of booze. So it happens again...we become human DOINGS instead of human BEINGS. And the end result is that we are tired, irritated and broke. Christmas can be so much more! Why not change the pattern???
Take time to read a good book in a warm bath, meditate twenty minutes every day, plan leisurely walks four times a week, visit a public library and read some poetry. If ever there was a time to share stories with friends and family over SLOW meals it is now. Listen to your life. Drive less, shop less, spend less and become less busy. If we slow down and listen we might just find each other. Peace and warmest wishes to all the spiders on the web. TJS
