Blessed

In the midst of holiday spirits, I am reminded that I am blessed.

There are suddenly no reasons to complain. Problems seem trivial. Dissatisfaction vanishes. Obligations evaporate. Desires become distant.

In the place of everyday gloom and doom, wanting and needing, there is simplicity and space.

And then, to my delight, there is an abundance of peace and love.

---fear not, dear readers, I assure you this perspective is temporary.
