RE: The Gift Of The Holidays

in #holiday8 years ago (edited)

This post speaks so much truth. The world needs reminders like this because we’re literally being bombarded each moment of our waking lives with carefully crafted messages designed to make us buy, consume, judge, be fearful, succumb to only our most basic of instincts.

So many are feeling the despair this year. I can’t remember a more precarious time in my entire life in regards to national and world politics. Yet our lives are also peppered with reminders like this post…to connect, face-to-face with our fellow human beings, help others in need, and reminders from others if you are in need you are not alone.

As long as I see these reminders from the universe I am able to keep that flame of hope stoked. Sometimes the realization of four simple words, “We are not alone” can be the most powerful, most comforting, and sweetest words we can hear...the best present we can give. Wonderful post, my friend. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

How right you are, Eric. And also remember it's ok to ask for help. Like my friend's FB post - she made it easy for those to reach out. It's a scary thing to do. Many of us grew up thinking it was not ok to burden others with our troubles. Thank you for your thoughtful reply. Merry Christmas to you and your family as well. What a year!

Yes, I totally understand how scary reaching out for help can be. Thanks for the post!
