Compassion and the holidays

Holidays bring up some uncomfortable feelings. If there is a loss in the family, grief may be prominent. For those of us who came from dysfunctional homes (most of us), unresolved feelings may be unspoken. And if you are alone, loneliness may rule the day.

Whatever it is for you, honor yourself. If you are not there for you, who will be? There is no wrong or right. No one needs to measure up to an expectation of how the holiday "should be." It is what it is.  Acceptance is the key to peace.

I wish for you a day of compassion, however you may be feeling.
