Who woulda thot that in the season of peace, love & etc, there is SO much pressure on people to:
buy gifts,
bake,
go to parties they don't want to,
write cards to people they don't really care to,
travel & visit even if it's hard on us or we're sick,
Of course, we might want to do some or all of those things, but it seems to me, from hearing people talk, that it's the most stressful time of the year for them & they end up being pressured to do stuff that's stressful.
I wish there wasn't so much pressure about the "holidays".
On the other hand, I've noticed:
drivers letting others in ahead of them
people smiling at people they don't even know
folks giving extra to the Food Banks & other charities
folks 'adopting' a family to buy gifts for them
perfect strangers saying nice things to each other like "Hope you have a nice holiday & great New Year"
So it's not all bad. Nice if we had less of the former & more of the latter.
Warm thoughts to everyone - and peace, calmness & serenity.
luv, Kath
