I’m Unwrapped For Christmas
December 14, 2009
Good news folks. I’m unwrapped for Christmas. Before you jump the gun and think hey did she get lucky? It’s not what you think.
I’ve unloaded the usual packaging that I wrap myself in this time of year. You know all of that unnecessary strain, stress and expectations that we place on ourselves this time of year? I’ve shed all of that. Woo-hoo! I’m free. Free to experience this day as it wants to be.
I realized that I don’t need to make a big deal out of it. Miss Sweetie (mini dachshund) and I are going to pass a nice quiet Christmas with our Tofurkey roast. That should be enough to keep us warm and nourished.
A Tofurkey roast? What’s that you ask. It’s some kind of tofu concoction that looked so good on the box that I couldn’t resist. It’s probably awful and Miss S and I will need to dump it in the trash, but I wanted to have an adventure so I bought it. I’ve got pasta on hand in case it’s inedible…don’t worry.
But since I’m unwrapped for Christmas, that means that I’m FREE to do anything I want – including eat a fake turkey. I’m not sure I like it. Even though I’m a vegetarian, I don’t really like tofu.
But fun and freedom is the name of the game. Being unwrapped means that Christmas doesn’t have to be any of the things that it usually means to me. That way I don’t have to feel sad, lonely or sorry for myself (boo hoo) that I’m not going to visit my family this year. Nope that’s not a useful state of mind. So I’ve left that behind and am open to discover what this day wants to bring me.
At the very least it will be an experiment in living. I’ll let you know.
Yours in accepting everything life has to offer,
Annie
