A year of gathering all that fills our life… the joyous moments and the painful losses… Beginnings with new life and the last goodbyes… Yet another symptom and the renewed strength to carry on… The struggling relationships, and the strength that comes from being understood…
All of it makes for this season of light, no matter the holiday we celebrate.
We are in a storm of a lifetime here in Western New York… the holiday is once again held hostage by the elements. Yet it cannot take away from the deeper meaning that comes from day-to-day living and giving.
There IS much to celebrate, as we gather memories, struggles, surrender, and efforts to look beyond the glitter…
My heart is aglow not in spite of the elements, but because all of it is necessary to get me to this point.
Whatever the light you celebrate… and no matter how small the flicker… may we embrace that all light dispels the darkness. And that is worth celebrating.
