I think believing in magic should not only be reflective during the holidays but it should be present in our everyday life. It is about having faith and hope for a better tomorrow and also working hard to make it happen. I love talking to little kids this time of year and listening to the them describe Santa and all of his unlimited possibilities. If we could only hold on to this blissful mind-set and apply it to other aspects of life as we mature!
Do you believe in miracles? Can you share any stories with me? I love to hear them.
My blog, Inspirations by Kathryn J. Raths includes posts from 2009 to 2016 that were an extension of my Healthy Living Examiner column which has been closed. However, the articles are being revamped as an extension of Kathryn J. Raths.com, which is in the making! The image is a self-portrait I drew in oil pastels; the woods gift me a deep connection with nature and safety!

This morning I woke up and looked outside to see the first real snowfall of the year. My first reaction was to flinch, withdraw and mumble unkind words under my breath. Later as the crisp air entered my lungs and it grabbed a hold of me and woke me up, I looked a little closer at the large flakes coming down. They were actually really pretty. I felt like I was part of a large scenic snow globe. Looking at it in this child-like way instilled awe in me. I became amused and amazed by the gift given to me on the first day of December.
It is really amazing how an outlook can shape you. It also affects everyone who surrounds you. I decided today that I will have happy holidays this year regardless of any worries. I choose to boot the old Scrooge out and close the year with joy.
What are you choosing for your holiday season? Leave me a comment and explain.
