Is anyone else as excited about the upcoming holiday season as I am? I dont know whats gotten into me but I'm ready for my Christmas tree and Thanksgiving hasnt even happened yet!*
I just have this incredible feeling that its going to be a wonderful holiday season.
*
Ive been listening to Christmas music for the past week and am ready for a yummy turkey and deviled eggs at my moms house for Thanksgiving. The great thing about Thanksgiving is getting the family to sit down at one table for several hours at a time and give thanks.
*
This year I have a lot of things to be grateful for.
My daughter
My family
My friends that have stood by me for years and all the friends who came back into my life
My animals
My home
My job
The beautiful city I live in
My health
My happiness
My faith
*
All of these special gifts Ive been given in 2008 have definitely made a difference.
*
Ive had a little health scare and even that Im grateful for because it has made me stop and reevaluate my life and how I was living it. It made me realize its time to switch gears and downshift. Slow it down.
*
Its made me get onto a new path and the next part of my journey. I found a great yoga studio called Yoga Swami http://www.yogaswami.com/directions.html
*
I found an amazing homeopathic healer "GITA"
*
But most exciting of all is I have had to take a deep breath (several actually cuz Ive been out of breath!) and really make changes in how I was managing my time and my life. I had forgotten to take care of my inner being, my soul.
*
I cancelled my gym membership today at Family Fitness. Working out in a gym is not fulfilling to me and I dont enjoy it.
*
I love to be outdoors and run along the ocean then do a few extra moves in the park while I watch the sunset. I cant run everyday so I plan to incorporate other things I love and do them more often.
*
Hike, Bike, Kayak and my newly added YOGA.
*
So even though my health was suffering for a few weeks, it opened me up to realize the bigger picture. TIME FOR CHANGE.
*
As my Christmas music plays, my honey candle burns I feel a sense of new peace and tranquility that has been vacant for some time.
*
I'll be saying this a few more times over the next few weeks but here is my first one....HAPPY HOLIDAYS ;-)
*
* Peace * Joy * Love * Happiness* Laughter *

Hey Angie.. good for you. I know you will adore Yoga. It is physically and spiritually healing, every time you do it. Yes, the Holidays are just around the corner. I too, am looking forward to Thanksgiving. I am not wrapped around X-Mas yet, but after the "Turkey Day" I will be. This year will be a lot of fun filled with laughter, joy, peace and happiness. What else could we ask for? Love ya.. Linda
