Making Spirits Bright


 I returned from my Thanksgiving journey home with a fresh mind and a grateful heart. For me, there is nothing like a trip home to ground me and bring me back to what is truly important. In trips home I get to step away from the crazy day to day and  relax and reflect. I left the computer behind and hardly looked at my phone. I took the time to do things with my parents that used to be routine but now only happen once in a blue moon. We cooked; we went to the movies; and we went hiking. When i returned to my long list of tasks and to dos I no longer felt overwhelmed. As I reflected on my time at home the familiar quote "making spirits bright" was ringing in my head. This beloved time of year spent with friends and family and filled with reminiscing and laughter is the perfect medicine for the soul that truly makes spirits bright. 

       This holiday avoid getting stressed with the last minute gift shopping, crowds, and holiday preparation, and concentrate on making your spirits bright. 

  • Rejoice! a break is near!! 
  • Disconnect from the world and connect with family. 
  • Find a bit of peace and stillness in every day. 
  • Stop multitasking, and enjoy the moment.
  • Spend as much time as possible with the ones you love. 
  • Count your blessings, and be thankful :)

Merry Merry!
