Holidays: let’s build longer tables

So much focus on holidays. What is a holiday? For many of us it’s a day off. For some it’s a day off alone. For some it’s a day with a lot of people. But for most there’s a variety of experiences that we all put in the box and categorize as a holiday.

Build a longer table to celebrate a new era of Holidays

This is changing. We are coming to a time in society and in history where the definition of a holiday is changing.

Something that comes up in a lot of readings and even in past life regressions is that people remember when they build a larger or longer table and this is in particular for holidays and celebrations. From that I gather that it is memorable and, perhaps,important to have gatherings with a lot of people and it doesn’t matter if they are a part of your family.

Let’s build longer larger tables at our holidays or at our celebrations. It doesn’t matter if we are related by blood; we are all family.

Embrace what will come

This time of year reminds many of the imperfections in their relationships and in life. This time of year does bring to the surface the many imperfections in one’s life because life is imperfect. We also tend to see that the grass is always greener on someone else’s lawn. Let me dispell some of these myths.

  • The hardest relationships will be, necessarily, with your birth family. Many of us came into hardship in order to learn. There are always exceptions to this rule. But the notion of an idealic, perfect family without quarrels does not exist.
  • The idea that someone, necessarily, has it easier than you is not a reality. With social media it is easy for one to “paint” this picture. Their is a lot of painting. People post the idealic, Christmas images of their angelic children. They don’t always post the many times that this idealic child has also told them that they hated them. Is is, often times, a very contrived image.

Don’t forget that the hardship is part of what makes this life so great. If you can start to embrace that things are hard here you might to see the infinite blessings that abound.

Happy Holidays to All. It is more than the presents and the great meal. It is about the great gratitude that we feel for life in whatever form it may come in. Just embrace this season for gratitude for what you have not what you don’t have.
