Mary’s Minute
“Holidays
are about experiences and people, and turning into what you feel like doing at
the moment. Enjoy not having to look at
a watch.”
~ Evelyn Glennie
In
the hustle and bustle of the season, we feel like we don’t have time to slow
down. The clock becomes our enemy as we
rush from one task to another. It would
be nice if we could take Glennie’s advice more often than on holidays. I think that we all look forward to Christmas
so that we can just enjoy the moment and not look at a watch. The holidays are a good time to reflect on
what we really value and try to add more of what is important throughout the
rest of year. Christmas is a time for
thinking of others, giving to those who have less, smiling more, saying kind
words to strangers, and slowing down and just enjoying the moment. Each year I tell myself that I will work to
add more of what is important in life throughout the entire year. I love Christmas! I love the excitement, as well as the hush
that makes the entire world glow. I love
giving to others and showing gratitude. I appreciate the beauty of decorated trees and
twinkling lights. I marvel at the
kindness we show to strangers at this time of the year. I respect the spiritual traditions that make
the holiday special. These are the
things I want to be part of my life!
Christmas represents for me all that is good in the world!
Merry Christmas all
year long!
Mary
