Have you ever felt a wonderful rush of emotion when you consciously open your heart to the world? I was thinking about this the other day at Christmas time and it occurred to me that we allow ourselves to be in the Christmas spirit by doing good deeds and being cheery to everyone we meet. What about the rest of the year? How quickly we forget how it feels to be in joy with each other and with the world. Our perception of the holiday season is most likely the reason. For example, when out in the stores shopping for holiday gifts pre-Christmas: yes, there are lots of people and yes, there is some stress but we also feel a sense of anticipation and excitement. However, after Christmas when we should feel happy about the slashed prices and stress levels are lower, some revert to their old ways by being rude and pushy again. Yet the only thing that has changed is the day on the calendar. May we strive to live in peace with others every day of the year and may the wonder and joy of the holiday season live in our hearts (and be shown to others) every single day of the year to come. In good health,
