Maybe we can take this season of joy – around the holidays – and stretch it out just a wee bit on both sides. By doing so, maybe we can be a little more kind, patient and loving to those around us. Both loved-ones and strangers.
Why not? I know for myself, it takes as much energy – maybe even more – to be angry/not happy/unkind than it does to be kind and loving. How much energy does it take to yell and cuss (that’s me), throwing your hands in the air, etc. when someone cuts you off in traffic vs. not being effected at all and allowing the person in front of you to get where they need to go with Love in our hearts. I know the answer to that.
And I feel good every time I do it. Tis the season . . . of Love.
