The approach to Christmas can be a challenging time. Not only is it a busy time for the person preparing the Christmas Day celebrations, but tension can run in families where couples do not agree on the style of celebrations. Do you recognise the scenario?
Lets look at some tips for the man of the house…..
Tip #1 Remember your partner is doing their best to make Christmas a joyous and happy time for all. A little encouragement can go a long way.
Tip #2 Rather than complain about the amount of money being spent, try to find some alternative treats or better still make or cook some.
Tip #3 Try not to be grumpy if the treats you want are not the same as those your loved ones want. Flexibility at least for Christmas Day will bring family harmony.
Apologies for these suggestions to the men who are encouraging, relaxed about the money being spent and flexible with doing what the rest of the family wants on Christmas Day……

Life is for living and enjoying. We are often so intent on our challenges, we forget to enjoy the good things in our life. Observe yourself and notice what lifts the corners of your mouth. Savour this moment.
Happiness is felt in the moment. Make sure you do not miss it.
Smile at the world and the world smiles back.
Just looking at this lovely smile makes me want to smile.
There are some among us who choose to worship the great god ‘Money’. I have observed that when they have achieved wealth, far from bringing great joy, it brings more work and worry on how to retain it.
Everyone needs a comfortable and safe home, food and warm clothes for their personal well-being. Anything beyond that is a luxury. The time and energy it takes to achieve this ‘luxury’ can make you poor. Poor in time and energy to focus on your relationships, personal study and just enjoying the gift of life.

Snow has arrived in London! Well a sprinkling of snow has, but its enough to make a snowman….
I am like a child when the snow comes. I have never lost that sense of excitement and wonder of it. A walk in the park showed that I was not alone. On a dreary January day in lockdown London, it was great to see the children making snowmen and having snow ball fights. Their laughter was like a wonderful tonic.
I believe simple experiences can bring great joy. The way to happiness is en-joying experiences rather than ‘things’. They are available to all, as I saw today.
Taking responsibility for your well-being is part of living. Explore your inner landscape to find your calmness and peace. In that place of calmness you can meet your soul. Your soul will nourish you and you can learn to receive guidance on your life from your soul.
