Recent weeks have seen so much hopelessness and loss, much of it reflected here. So much shouting; not even debate; just a mirror to the frustration and pain that we too often find ourselves immersed in. Four days until a holiday that celebrates birth. No matter your spiritual beliefs, Christmas at its heart is about beginnings. And, ten days from now a new year begins. Just a number, just a day, but a signal that there is an opportunity not to start over, but to start fresh. Each moment we have choices to make. How will we act? Will we act or just react? And, when we act, will it be from a place of love and hopefulness, or a place of cynicism and fear? That simple choice shapes our entire world; how each one of us makes it each and every moment. I hope you will give my year end blog a quick read. It is deliberately short. I could never express the depth of love and gratefulness I feel. I dont consider myself lucky. I consider myself blessed; not religiously...literally. The universe has provided me everything I need. I just had to let go of my fear to recognize, appreciate, and embrace that. There are people I miss every day. Some have moved onto a place I will hopefully not travel to for a long time to come, others have chosen a different path...and my heart often aches to tell them how much I love them and I selfishly wish I could hold them closer. BUT, that is oddly part of the proof that I am blessed; because I have loved. I wish that people would stop giving up on each other so quickly. Dont revel in the pain. That is self perpetuating. Faith...in something...in the capacity to love and learn. Thanks to all of you have shared this year, because each of you now claims a piece of my heart............Peace and Blessings. alexncassidy/happy-holidays/
