MERRY XMAS???

MERRY CHRISTMAS??

   It is very difficult in these times that we can be happy if we have a pinch of consciousness ... and especially if the true Spirit of Christmas means ...

- Peace ....................................................... when the world burns in wars and conflicts ...

- Truth ....................when it seems the world is drowning in lies of corrupt politicians ...

- Share ..............................when many people are so alone who have no one to share ...

- Family ............................................... when many of us spend this Christmas so far ...

- Generosity ........ when individualism, selfishness ...  or whatever makes us forget how wonderful it is to share ...

- Joy ..... when unfortunately the Xmas, instead of reminding ALL the good we have, reminds us all that no longer have ... and we lament what we have not got, and what struck us during the year ...

- Dreams .... when we forget how important are our dreams, our goals and we intend to achieve and become "superwomen" or "supermen" ... calculators, solved, scheduled for, winning and feeling just little,  just in case someone can harm us ...

- Magic ... when we stop believing in these small or great miracles that happen every day and since the world began ...

        Love is a miracle, a baby born is a miracle, the day, the night, the laughter, the friendship ... and so many things that surprise us every day without a logical and apparent explanation ...

- Good wishes ... when we don't look more into our neighbor's eyes, into that person passing through the street eyes, friend in the past ... into the eyes of that friend who was that person who seems to be forgotten any residence ... or the eyes of thine own sister or brother with whom you argued long time ago by some nonsense that you do not remember at all but made you stop keep the good relationship with ...

 When we do not look in the eyes of others and you don not wish more them a lifetime of happiness, ... the same as we would for ourselves ...

- Excitement ... when we forget how wonderful and satisfying it is to start: 

a relationship, a business, a career, a recovery, a book, a new journey, a new stage ... and we forget the butterflies in the stomach that every start menas ... and we just cry because  of the "things lost"  ...

- Or hope ... when we remember that hope is always our best ally when it seems that there is nothing left ... It is always lurking, waiting, to drive us that hand we need ...

But my friends, I would tell you one thing ... for me, despite ALL... it will be a very happy Christmas ... because:

- I nursed my little garden called Peace and Truth ..., throughout the year. I was watering with patience, good words, with love and empathy, and by this time .. if I  do balance ... my "little world" that of which I am the only responsible ... I can smile this Christmas because in "my little world "... the peace reigns and the truth shines, my truth, my transparent and comfortable color ...

- it will be happy Xmas, too because I had more or less, but I could share it ... and because others who surrounded me ... always shared with me: words, hugs, tips, looks, love, food, shelter, smiles ... and because I enjoyed my greatest gratitude for receiving and with the greatest pleasure to give and to have people to share with ...... 

I balance and feel happy about it ...

Fortunately I surround myself with people who enjoys being generous feelings, who loves sharing and helping ... and I say you something very important about this, the GENEROSITY is wonderfully contagious !!

- I know that my FAMILY will be very far away this Christmas ... but just physically ...

My family is my best and greatest treasure ... They are my life are my pillars and my pride, my roots and my universe ...

I would be ungrateful if I cry for Being apart, when the verb HAVE and BE PART of ... certainly are much better ... and because when you truly love ...  you are never really far ...

Moreover, it happens that ... families enlarge, grow up ... and if something gives more sense to Xmas Spirit is just this: love growing up...

The large family of my husband is my family now too ... and all the my New Zealander friends too... they are now my new extended family in New Zealand ....

- ... ... And it will be merry Christmas because I never forget to keep dreaming, I never  forget to give thanks for everything that happens to me, and because I am alive, I am strong, I have always wanted and strength to keep fighting for my dreams, to reinvent myself to continue to believe in the magic of people and ... the "other good magic"  splashing us when we most want or need it ...

I Dream, I ask, I always say thank you, I learn, I fall, I get up ... and I always smile ... although maybe sometimes to smile I  have had to cry before ... but my smile, and my enthusiasm will always be my reason ...

I will always believe in the miracles that move the world ... sometimes miracles as simple and powerful as a kiss, a hug ... others like faith, strength in overcoming ... the faith that moves mountains .. . and of course, in those miracles that fill our lives with inexplicable MAGIC. Inexplicable and wonderful, breaking logic and probabilities ... being that great exception to the rules ...

- And it will be merry Christmas, because the world is full of good people, wonderful people and I am lucky to find them everywhere ...

  People who look into your eyes, who give you a hand, who wish you the best helping  you to get it ...

This world is not adrift ... some try to get so, but they do not realize that Good People are most, an overwhelming majority ... and they sow HOPE whererever they go ...

LET'S MAKE OF THIS ONE .... A REALLY VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS !!
