Reviewing your life...

Hello, dear Friends,

As the holidays approach and we get closer to the end of the year, to the time of the longest nights and shortest days, it is a good time to review your year, and even your life.

One person I know worked very hard this year to help others. Many times, she had to put her own needs on hold to take care of an ailing friend, of a sister who needed a place to live and who could not help herself. I invited her to make a list of her accomplishments for the year, as a way of giving thanks for all she has been able to do for others. This is a way of taking a breath, of seeing what she has really been able to do.

Another way to review the year is to take stock of your relationships. Is there something you need to say to someone? Do you need to say "thank you," or "I'm sorry," or "I love you?" Are there things that need to be talked over? Are there changes you want to make?

None of us knows how long we will have the gift of this life. Use your moments now, at this natural time of reviewing, to do the things that are important.

Blessings to you this day,
