What Do the Lonely Do at Christmas?

Its that time of the year. The time when you sit down to reflect on what you've have and haven't accomplished. You sit home throwing yourself a pity party over a cup of hot chocolate laced with booze. You sit and stare wide-eyed into the fire and wonder where oh where you went wrong....SNAP OUT OF IT!!
If I have learned anything over this past year is was this: Its Never Over. Meaning you don't have to be finished until you are ready to be finished. So what if you didnt find the love of your life this year? So what if the guy you would live and die for is not even interested? So what if you are carrying a few (or not so few) extra pounds? At the end of the day, (don't you just hate that phrase?) the only one there is you. And that's okay! Because as sure as one day will end, another day will begin. You have a whole new day to start fresh. You don't need the turn of the year to signal that time is passing; live each day individually. Do not live your life in years, or months, or weeks even. Take it one day at a time. Make little steps each day toward becoming or doing whatever it is that you want to do.
This year I didn't finish my album, heck I couldnt even get a good demo off the ground. The man that I love recently moved away; not that he was even remotely interested in me anyway. My kids are spending time with their fathers and other family members for Christmas. All my family is at least a six hour drive or more away, and I have to work through the holiday. Heck, even my roomate flew to Denver to see her family for the week. I will be ALONE for Christmas. If your situation is like mine or worse, don't fret!! I'm am that little voice inside your head that assures you that everything will be just fine. What do the lonely do at Christmas? We relax, we meditate, .....we get out there and party and enjoy our lives!! Why be lonely at Christmas when there's no need?!!
