Holiday thoughts

Sitting alone
Lazily pondering
Thoughts drift
gaze wanders
eyes stare
seeing elsewhere
reflecting within
heavily light
where is
what are
how do
when can
powered thoughts
evoke change
complacency stagnates
negativity bars
resentment hollows
anger boils
fear shatters
lift beyond
trust hope
breathe life
be now
be wonderment
be accepting
be peaceful
be well
smile lots
love most

May we all take this time during the holidays to step beyond the mad rushh to appease the powers that want us to spend, spend, spend and take time to look at what it is that we have and find the wonder of what is around you. If we all stop to really look, there is an endless abundance of things to be grateful for. Me, I consider myself incredibly blessed and cannot possibly begin to show the grateitude that I feel; for all the people in my life, past, present and future who have touched my soul.
I didn't do any gift giving this year (except of course for my son) as my world has been so focused on the new coffee lounge, I just have not been able to make time to shop. There are those that feel that this, along with not a lot of contact or calling or whatever, is a sign of lack of gratitude, but those that truly know me, know this is not the case. There are times that we must sacrifice some things inorder to progress in other areas. This is my world right now. i am building something beautiful, fun, creative and wonderful that I can share with the world, that I can use to catalyze so many wonderful things. This is my gift this year... my love, my gratitude and my wish to you all - friend, stranger, family, all - a warm, happy, love filled holiday and a new year full of wonder, amazement, beauty, prosperity and most of all, lots of love.

Be well, smile lots and love most~
