Where has the year gone? Every year seems to get faster. What causes that? There’s always so much to do and rarely enough time, particularly in the build up to Christmas. I suspect you are all saying similar things.
This year with moving house twice in the last 3 months I decided to plan early and buy presents and cards well in advance. All went very well until this week when I realised that I still haven’t delivered all my cards and presents to friends living locally. I know what I will be doing this weekend! And there’s the food shopping to do.
December is also a time when I reflect on the year. My achievements, successes and things that didn’t go so well. This year has been phenomenal and so I will most definitely be celebrating over the festive season. It’s so good to take time out and reward yourself for your achievements however, big or small. So that’s what I am going to encourage you to do. Take time out for yourself and celebrate your journey in life so far no matter what is happening right now. You will feel so much better.
Yesterday I was out for lunch with some very dear friends. Towards the end of the meal my mobile rang and it was a call from one of the organisations that I am working with so I decided to take the call. As it happens the call was not that urgent and could have waited however, it affected the rest of the meal. In that moment I had broken the spell and magic of enjoying the company of my friends. I was no longer there for them and I know that one of my friends was not impressed. I cannot change what happened as it is over. However, I can make sure that I give my full attention to whoever I decide to spend time with and not be distracted. My friends will forgive me as they love me.
My message to you is to ‘Enjoy the present moment’. ‘The past is history, the future a mystery and the present a gift’ So enjoy it! Enjoy spending time with family and friends, be the happiest person around and see how you affect their lives too.
Have an absolutely awesome time,
With love from Noelyne
