I got so busy yesterday that I forgot to take photos…. And I really liked my Outfit

No worries, it’s just and opportunity for me to bring you words of Inspiration! 

I learned this so well from observing the lives of single mothers. 

For me this sounds like the words of my childhood that so inspired me in the song so many of us sang in church,

“This little light of mine, I’m gonaa let it shine!” 

I chose this one personally for myself as a reminder that sometimes, it really is just that easy!

Those of us in the Western world have concentrated more on the outside than on the inside and even heart surgewons these days are recommending meditative practices. Making sure our thoughts create positives instead of chaos is key to happiness in this life!

I had a key experience in life in which I made the choice to be rich in the things that money can’t buy , so ending todoay with Christmas Gifts  that need no wrapping paper or money. 

Dear Readers, I have collected sayings like this beginning as a teenager and love sharing them.  My goal is to be a beacon in reminding myself as well as others that happiness is ours to choose.  As a woman whose parents have both passed on and a sister in law who greatly misses her btother in law, this season can be a tough one.  Turning to inspirational words and seeking peace of mind is one way I handle that pain. Ensuring a wonderful Christmas for my children , sibllngs and neices is another. Writing my twice a year letter to my husband’s uncle and the one responsible for our upcoming Ireland trip next October is another. Relying on my strong faith that my loved ones are happy and that i will be with them when it’s my time.

  I know there are so many out there missing loved ones this season, what helps you?  

Gratitude

I am grateful for the pain that comes with this season of missing loved ones, because it offers the opportunity for memories to flood me. 

I am grateful that I have amazing children who light up my world and ease the loss.

I am grateful that I have a family who delights in the holiday and that we have been planning how each family member is going to help make our holiday fantastic…We host breakfast and dinner for my siblings, so a lot of work and they are all excited to pitch in.

I am grateful to be at this fabulous stage in life with three of my four children reaching adulthood and all having great goals for themselves and staying out of troubles that can plaque this age group. 

I am grateful that even with the new job, that my husband will be taking his normal week off between Christmas and New Years!
