The universe must be directing me to shake the skittles out of my cerebellum. One message broadcasted after the next, has been a steady stream of Christmas Magic. I'd say that one of the symptoms of aging, is sometimes loosing that special sense of creative imagination. Imagine that! It's what happens as we begin to take things for granted.
Lucky for me, I've been getting major doses of reality and trying to check myself against them. I try to live my life honorably, with respect and consideration of others, and with the common betterment of society, in mind. I fancy myself a humanitarian; I want to help create a better world. It has been a trying year; and the past few months have been some of the hardest. Naturally, these are the most trying of times for us - as it is harder to project abundance, and keep a positive mindset, and share loving energy in our everyday interactions with the world - when there isn't gas money to make it to work; or cash for groceries.
The laws of the universe do not change. Being grateful is key. Well, actually - state of mind is key... and being grateful is the attitude I find works best. It places me in a thankful disposition; my heart opens; I acknowledge things in my life that bring me peace and happiness (and abundance); negative thought, worry, and anxiety leave my body; then leave my mind; i project a happy presence - because I am happy; looking at life and each unfolding encounter as something positive that will help me affect a peaceful feeling, add toward money earned,or cause me to accomplish some goal.
Coming from a state of mind, where I believe I affect and create my world daily - moment to moment - I sometimes forget to appreciate the forces from outside myself. It can be easy to get locked into one's own perspective; which is being selfish. Failing to see the whole picture often causes us to miss out on a lot of good things. Taking things that increase the quality of our lives for granted, only leads us away from keeping the things that make us happy the focus of our minds and hearts... when this happens, our mind is sometimes filled with other things... like where am I going to get the money for this bill? or how come she didn't smile when she looked at me? or how can I get away with...?
Christmas Magic is very real. The world is full of magic, and this time of year has it's own special kind. It's the winter solstice; a traditional time for giving; song and cheer are heard on the wind; bright and twinkling Christmas lights in every neighborhood; goodwill toward men; smiles and shared laughs; love. It's a time for love. And what better magic is there than Love?
I put my faith into the Universe (that can read Love, or God) and the Universe provides. I am extra thankful this season for Christmas Magic, as it has rekindled the joy in my soul and allows me to breath easier knowing that I am following the right path. Christmas Magic proved to me that magic is always possible, and more importantly - that nothing is impossible.
The magic is that real change occurs, perceptions change, and we can experience gains in knowledge and wisdom during the times that seem the hardest. We are better people in the end, because of them... so I want to be thankful for these times, all the more so.
I love you all; peace, love, unity, and abundance
