It’s the experience! I love the fall, my birthday is next… Thanksgiving has always been a favorite holiday for me (it reminds me that yes, I did something for my mother) and Christmas is jubilant. Even when I don’t feel like it, I always decorate for Christmas. (Sometimes, it is genuinely difficult to sort through Christmas decorations.) Still, it is always wonderful to spend time with my family!
Experience is why it all goes by so quickly! If I dread something, the time goes so slow. Summer is hot and long – And, it lasts for a really long time, especially in Florida! Wow, once it’s over, it moves very quickly. So those things I want to avoid, I resist, those things I want to have I do not resist – and that has something to do with how quickly time moves. When I thoroughly experience something, when I dive all the way in, the experience moves very quickly. When I back-pedal and resist, the experience seems to run on forever.
So here we go, another year, another holiday season and another chance to experience all of the love and the joy that a family can give to each other. I want to grab every minute.
