Wow! After the grip of Holiday GRIEF seemed to envelope me earlier in the week, today turned out to be great after all. After being depressed, because my children were literally, scattered throughout the US on this special day, speaking to each of them, gave me a sense of Peace. Thanksgiving 2024 turned out to be much better than I anticipated, and for that, I am thankful.
Sometimes, grief can take hold of us, to the point of no return. I have found, from prior experience, that being surrounded by the right mix of friends and family, boosts my spirits, and brings me Joy during the holidays. Today, forcing myself to dress and get outside; go around people who freely love, and enjoy life, has boosted my spirits. I was able to shake off my depression, and thoroughly enjoy Thanksgiving 2024.
The fact that today turned out so well, after how it started, has given me Hope for the remainder of the holiday season. Tomorrow, I will put up my tree, and prayerfully, I look forward to celebrating with family and friends moving forward. I plan on having too much fun, to allow grief to get in the way of my holiday spirit.
As I reflect on how well Thanksgiving 2024 went, I remember, all of those I’ve been in contact with, over the past few months. I remember the tears they shed. I can’t help but to remember the stories about their losses, and how many are not wanting to celebrate the holidays any longer. All I can think about is, how I don’t want them to give up.
I pray, that everyone who has vowed to refrain from celebrating the Christmas holidays, realizes the beauty in enjoying life, through loving their family and friends; especially, during this special time of year. As of today, I urge us all, to push through our pain, be thankful, no matter what our situation may be, and find Hope, Peace, Joy and Love in this 2024 Christmas season. Everything that we need is already here. It’s time to take this life we’re given, and share it with one another, in order for us to live in abundance; this is what we are called to do.
As I end my night, I pray that we’ve all managed to make great use of our day, and that this day is the beginning of the end, of our HOLIDAY GRIEF. I look forward to new traditions, as we all make strides to heal, together.
GOD LOVES YOU AND SO DO I
