Sending love to anyone discouraged this Christmas. You are loved. Remember, your life might be unrecognizable one year from now! It might be tempting to curl up with the negative thoughts, but don’t allow it! That’s too easy! The worthwhile things sometime take a bit of effort. And, positivity will call upon your effort at times. But, the reward always comes, one way or another. Stay open to love. Cry if you must cry. But, don’t close off. At times, you’ll even find there is a beauty in the pain. When you stay open to life. When you hold your inner ground no matter what flies about you. … One year from now your life may be unrecognizable. Perhaps even your dream of happiness may have changed completely. Perhaps that dream of happiness will contain things you hold right now in this moment, and have forgotten completely! Life has a sense of humor, and loves itself some irony, as you know! Perhaps you won’t feel, or remember, so much of the pain. Perhaps you’ll be someone who practically floats off the ground with mischief and magic!! Someone seemingly untouched by the dreariness of living as the sad folk do. Someone who shines! Perhaps you’re okay right where the needle is playing on the vinyl record now, right in the middle of the sad song, knowing there are plenty of happy tracks coming, and most especially on those delicious deep cuts on Side 2. You don’t hear the song now, but you know it’s on the album, just a few rotations out. You are loved – even in moments where things seem most alone for you, even when most frightened, and when there is not a friend in the world. You’re loved even more, if possible, in times like this one. It’s really going to be okay. It really, truly is. And, you light up a room with your positivity. When you feel the strength again to choose such, it’s going to be magical! Won’t that be something? ❤️🌟
