HAPPY MAGICAL Monday and More

 

HAPPY MAGICAL MONDAY!!!!!!!

Sometimes life knocks us more than a few times. We start to close ourselves off to the wonders of life. I know that I personally have done this. The survival mode after going through a lot of rough stuff. Many of us have this happen.

This time of year is truly Magical. The High Holy Days are upon us and this Magic we can invite into our lives and join with the ribbons of Joy.

Time to Be Open to the Good and Wonderful Magic around <3 <3

Just as a quick caveat, please be careful with whom you share your magic. Scrooge and Grinch can be hiding out in the most unlikely of people. Just be aware that it IS NOT YOU, but the Cranky Twins that may be visiting those whom you care for. It is Mercury after all and communications can go snafu really quickly.

That being said literally open yourself to the Wonderful Magic of The Season.

You can stand in your bedroom and spread out your arms with a Magical Affirmation. You can take a moment as you leave for work and do the same thing. You can sit at a stop light and let the red and green remind you of Christmas Magic lurking in the most interesting places, including yourself.

One of my favourite Christmas songs is “Santa Baby” by the late and wonderful, Eartha Kitt. It was one of the first Christmas songs I sang along with when Michael and I met. One year I said to him (after he’d crossed) “You know I’ve not heard that song all season!” as I was about to drive home. Not two minutes later, ‘Santa Baby’ by Eartha Kitt was playing on my radio. Oh my!

Magical things can happen this time of year just as much at other times. This time of year though, with the condensing of so many High Holy Days (what we call holidays now) where so many hearts are a bit more open usually, we feel it more. As a collective, we tend to feel it a bit more.

I’ll tell you a little something. A couple of years ago my dear friends gifted me with a phonograph player. I’ve not really used it much in the three years I’ve had it. The pain I’d had from years of losses was not letting me listen to my records. A while back I decided that it’s time to celebrate more and honour that way. This year I’ve put my phonograph player in pride of place rather than on the shelf. I’ve made sure to place the speakers more prominently too. The Christmas records are about to come out for the first time in a decade. I’m so, so happy I can play these now.

The other things about the Magic are do what wonderful things make you happy. If you love playing your guitar, piano or even tuba with Christmas songs, as long as you’re not disturbing others, play on! If you want to hear something repeatedly, well, that’s what the web can do. If you want to donate an hour or two somewhere in a hospital or nursing home, Do that.

Remember the Magic can start with us <3
