What is going on inside me is what is going on outside me! Christmas is a time of internal inventory taking for me. I want to have the Christ spirit of unconditional love and giving. But before I know it, I'm worrying about, if I am going to please everyone with their gift, money, is the house clean enough, why would my sister do that?etc... Before you know it, I'm am out of my unconditional love place and in frustration mode. Today I will love myself unconditionally first. Maybe that will help me be unconditional love to my circle of friends and family during this time when we celebrate Spirit Birth.

 

PET PEEVE

Ok, We all have one.  A pet peeve!  Something that really irritates us and disturbs our inner peace.  Maybe, because it touches one of our emotional "Buttons" or maybe just because it is time-consuming, not important and unneccesarily adds to an already stress filled day.  Well, I have mine.  E-MAILS that tell you to send this to (any number will do) people in so many minutes.  If you do "YOU WILL BE BLESSED" and if you don't, well go figure.  My old fundamentalist guilt kicks in, I don't want to go to Hell for not forwarding an e-mail, but it takes me forever to go through my address book and edit the people that will respond appropriately to the sentiment of each e-mail.I would like to get my house cleaned up and my errands run, before it's time to cook dinner, be homework tutor and drop my tired behind on the sofa for a little down time.  Hell is feeling guilty if you forward it, and guilty if you don't.  The simple solution, is for those people that are authoring these e-mails to please stop, unless you really have the power to personally make a miracle happen for those who recieve your e-mail. Or maybe I need to disconnect from my emotional "guilt' button. That is what I am going to do.  Starting today I will not forward another e-mail, if I don't want to do it.  Be forwarned!  I don't believe I will miss any miracles or blessings.  I think I will have the miracle of, more time of my own, and inner peace.  Two miracles I can really use!
