\nFirst of all, Happy Holidays and best wishes for a terrific new year!
\n
\nIt’s been eight years since our family started sending photo cards during the holiday season. I don’t know about you, but the pressure to get them made, addressed, sent and delivered before a certain date is ridiculous. Why do we do this to ourselves? Loading on the pressure, not just about this particular task, but about any plan, to do, date or assignment. I’m not saying that we shouldn’t have deadlines – those are good things. I’m suggesting that we put things in perspective and give ourselves and others a break.
\n
\nMy moment is the letting go of that feeling of pending disappointment for not being able to finish all the things I think I should. Does anyone really care if they get my heartfelt greeting in January? And if they do, maybe they should consider this: My challenge to you, my readers, is to set aside judgment. Right here. Right now. I’m pretty sure we all try our best to do our best. So, let go of judging yourself and others and embrace that little hippie inside. Peace out.
