I read a dear friends journal and she is having trouble finding the happiness in this holiday season.. Many of us here in journal land are having hard times during the holiday for one reason or another. We try to find are paths.. are happiness.. that magical thing that will make everything fall into place. I caught myself today saying.. I just don’t have time and I stopped myself.. for I know I have to make time.. it is my responsibility. I can’t expect anyone to find my happiness for me.. I have to find it.. and I am heading the path that I need to follow to find said happiness.. it is not always a small journey.. But much is learned along the way.
To my friend.. I give you this.. You have so much to be thankful for.. you have four beautiful children and another on the way.. you have a roof over your head.. a car to drive.. a job to take care of you and your families needs.. Friends and family who love you very much. It is not the gifts that make the holidays special.. it is love… and my friend you have this in droves… We must take control and make our own happiness.. close your eyes.. and visualize all that is important to you.. the things that really matter.. then open them again and see that those things are right there with you.. what more do you need to make this holiday be the happiness ever. You are LOVED and that makes you very blessed.. think about this.. and I know you will find what you seek.. because it has always been right there in front of you… Merry Christmas my friend.. I love you.

I just happened to come across this surfing and it is truly lovely. I think I will remind my kids that Chanukkah (which we celebrate) is about the love, not the presents. So much distress in the world, you are right, there is much to be thankful for here in Va. with our families in our homes.

KRISTAL,
You always have the right words for everyone at the right time. AMAZING!
I DO have so much to be thankful for.
I feel neglectful for feeling so closed in on myself.
My children aren't with me this year, as they are spending the holiday with their father(s), so it is especially hard on me.
I wish I could give to everyone what my heart wants to be able to. I know it isn't about the presents, its about being with those who care and love us. I WISH YOU WERE HERE IN OHIO ! It has to be truly hard to be away from so many that you are close to here. MY HEART is with you always and I hope your holiday is filled with happiness and joy.
The path YOU are journeying on is bound with winding roads....but all roads of the heart end up with a destination to the soul!
TRUE HAPPINESS of the holidays is wished for you and your family ALWAYS !! TAKE care my friend and thank you for your message AND your gift of friendship !!
LOVE ,
STACY & FAMILY
very very true....... sometimes just hard to accomplish. Love to your friend. judi
