Sometimes the days after holidays can feel depressing for some people. Maybe there was conflict at the holiday table, maybe someone drank too much, maybe you ate too much....When we get together for big events it is common to feel excitement and apprehension. Maybe you saw someone you hadn't seen in a long time... Maybe there was someone very important who was not at your table because they died during the year... Well this time of the year can be sad and it can also be a time to look back at this past year and think about what you have accomplished, what you want to continue doing, what would you like to improve on and what can you be grateful for.
This has been a very difficult year for many people. You may have seen loved ones lose alot of money, lose their homes, their jobs.... There have been many, many challenges. But you are still here with the opportunity, today, to continue trying, to continue loving and caring to be open to all possibilities. Today is the perfect time for you to breathe the fresh cool air of a late fall day in Marin. Why don't you try it now. Take a deep whole breathe, hold it and breathe out fully. You can start anew today with this breath.
