A Time For Reflection

As I write this the snow is pouring down. There’s a winter storm watch on as we’re expected to get 30 – 50 cm of the wonderful white stuff!

I love Winter for this reason. There is something magical about everything being coated in a blanket of white.

For me time seems to slow down and I find myself taking a moment to reflect.

The Christmas season is a great time for reflection. As the year wraps up I’m able to review achievements and disappointments.

I also, look forward to the New Year and all the hope and possibility that it brings.

The blanket of snow the falls wipes the slate clean as I move onto new endeavours and challenges.

Yet, the true joy that I reflect on at this time of year is birth of the Christ. I believe that this is the greatest hope that we have and focusing on this event reminds me of the potential for peace and love that exists for one another.

As you travel this Christmas season be mindful of those around you. Remember, they have family they are visiting as well. Smile to everyone you meet and extend the love and peace that exists to all.
