Merry Christmas to you all! It is Christmas Day and I just wanted to post this quick message before I curl up with a book – that is me done for the day!
I have been sitting here, after exchanging presents with my nearest and dearest, reflecting on past Christmases and Christmas wishes…. and I realised that I have held a special Christmas wish in my heart for many years. And what better time to put my wish out there than Christmas Day itself! I believe that a dream precedes every goal. Putting it down here will bring me one step closer to acknowledging that dream and then working on turning it into an amazing experience! So what is my Christmas dream…..?
I have held an image in my head for many years of having a very special Christmas tucked away in a house full of people I love, for a beautiful WHITE Christmas celebration. This would involve Christmas being a multi day affair with beautiful food, a warm fire place, wonderful company, comfy PJ’s, little children opening gifts with excitement in their every movement and looking out the window to a world covered in white dust. I live in Australia and we have our Christmas in Summer which means beautiful sunshine, lovely beach weather, great fruit and seafood but just once I would love to experience that idyllic WHITE Christmas. Have you seen “The Family Stone”? That house, my people, less chaos! You get the idea!
I know practically it would be a mammoth undertaking – my Consultant’s eyes will glaze over at the mere suggestion most likely!. It will obviously involve international travel, insurance, health considerations and so on but I will put it out there and HOPE. if the opportunity comes along to make that dream a reality I will do my absolute best to make it happen! Only I can make my dreams come true but to do that I first have to acknowledge them. I have recently found that once you do that, once you put it out there, things just shift and you find your goals forming in the most unexpected ways. Now I trust in that….. it will happen some way or any other if I focus on it.
And so there is one of my dreams that I will aim to achieve in my lifetime. I have another dream that is regularly on my mind but I will reveal that to you on my birthday (in February) cause that is a BIG one! Do you have any hidden Christmas wishes? Now would be the perfect time to have a break and write it down… what do you have to lose? Don’t let your health decide how you spend all your Christmases…. dare to dream!
I wish you all a HAPPY, SAFE and RELAXING Christmas. Don’t forget to take time out to spend quality moments with your loved ones, let them know you love them in any way possible. Take a million photos. And remember…. we make tomorrow’s memories today so spread the love!
All the best for Christmas, Lily
