Hi everyone.
So it's 18th December today and, a couple of hours from now, I will go to the airport and fly to Germany where I will first spend a couple of days with my best friend Katharina before going over to my parents and spend Christmas with them.
The Christmas season this year wasn't bad actually. I bought cinnamon oil at the beginning of December and have used it in the diffuser because I like cinnamon and I have always loved Christmas. I have avoided Christmas carols and songs where possible but when I hear them in a shopping centre or on the radio it's actually surprisingly okay, even though it did make me stop and fight back tears the other day when I came upon the Snowman which was Paul's and my favorite song, apart from perhaps "In The Bleek Mid Winter". I have met up with friends in the run up to Christmas and had drinks and fun with them, also remembering Paul of course. Particularly last night was wonderful as I met up with one of the nurses from the hospital where Paul was a patient for years, I had met her a couple of weeks ago in the hospital and she had agreed to help me to bring Reiki into the hospital and we decided to catch up over a glass of wine and it was lovely, absolutely wonderful. I can't say I am looking forward to Christmas, I can't say that I don't, it's a bit like everything: it just happens and, as I said here in a post in summer, the magic has gone out of things a little, so I don't have any strong feelings either way, but I know it will be as nice as it can be.
I would like to wish all on here, in case I am not checking my messages as much as I normally do, a good Christmas; may it be as good as it can be for everyone, it is okay and good watever it is because it is YOUR Christmas. May you all do exactly what is right for you on the day. And remember: It's only a day.
Love and hugs
Mel.
