Christmas is almost here. As a kid, I would get so excited this time of year. First, Christmas presents, and second the joy of getting a week off from school. As an adult, Christmas is still a joyful celebration, but for different reasons, primarily for family and friends. The joy of having a break is the one thing I have lost, and many of us lose as we get older. Many people go back to work, or there is so much effort in planning the holidays with family, gatherings, traveling, etc. We have forgotten to stop and relax. This year I am going to spend time relaxing and refreshing my brain. I would encourage everyone to try this and spend time being present and alive.
I hope you all have a wonderful and safe Christmas. May God bless you and all your loved ones as we celebrate our savior, Jesus Christ, coming into this world.
