The full moon brings the peak of power and abundance. Christmas Day is likewise a time of giving and receiving. Let go of the idea that "more is better." It's unsustainable. Instead, embrace the principle that "enough is plenty." Want what you have.
Take time to appreciate the experience of sufficiency. Look at the pile of presents before they're unwrapped, and admire the pretty paper and ribbons. Look again after everything has been opened, and enjoy the new clothes and games and other goodies. See how happy people are. Savor the Christmas feast spread over the table. Give thanks. Save a few tidbits-a piece of wrapping paper, some ribbon, maybe a bit of tinsel from the tree-and wrap your memories up in that, tying it off with the ribbon. Keep this as a reminder, when hard times come, that you know what it's like to have enough. |
