December 31 ChoicesWhatever comes our way, whatever battles we have inside ourselves, we always have a choice. It's the choices that make us who we are and we can always choose to do what's right. (Spiderman 3)
Wishing you peace and well being as you make your choices.
PS: Remember to hold the one's you love just a little closer and tighter this holiday season._/l\_ December 25 A Christmas ReminderIn a Christmas Carol (Charles Dickens) Scrooge is visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve. Scrooge sees more and more of the reality from which he has turned away. He sees the reality of his past, how the choices he made steadily whittled away his compassion and increased his self-centeredness. He sees the reality of his likely future, the future that will occur if he continues in his present ways. But then he wakes up. He realizes that he is not the captive of these realities. He realizes that he has a choice. He chooses to change.
Dickens says that life always avails the option of seeing the truth, no matter how blind or prejudiced we may be. And if we have the courage to respond to that option, we have the power to change ourselves profoundly. Scrooge couldn't make the choice to change before he became aware of his current reality.
Only through truth do we come to grace (Peter Senge. The Fifth Discipline)
Wishing you peace and well being as you face your current reality.

The only choice we have is our attitude about the cards we hold and the finesse with which we play our hand. (Sylvia Boorstein, It's Easier Than You Think) Wishing you peace and well being as you play out your hand.

December 10 ChangeChange is hard because people overestimate the value of what they have - and underestimate the value to what they may gain by giving that up. (James Belasco and Ralph Stayer. Flight of the Buffalo.)
Wishing you peace and well being as you open yourself to all the changes happening around you and with you.

December 03 Dancing TogetherWe are born with a capacity to dance together but not with the necessary training. We have to learn the dance steps and practice until we move with ease and grace. The joy in it requires work. (David Richo. How to Be an Adult in Relationships)
Wishing you peace and well being as you practice your dance steps.
