Plant your own garden
and decorate your own soul,
instead of waiting for someone
to bring you flowers.
~Veronica A. Shoffstall,
"After a While," 1971
It's that time of year where we all seem to decorate either our homes, offices or even our cars with flashing lights and lots of garland. The holiday season makes us want to create a festive and fun place to enjoy. This season though, maybe we can decorate more than just our physical spaces. Maybe we can take the time to decorate our lives as well. What has been missing in your life that you can now take the time to add in? What haven't you accomplished yet that you can finish? What have you been avoiding taking care of that would make your life more peaceful?
The time has come to concentrate on being just as creative with our lives as we are our living spaces. Your life should be a reflection of who you are, what you value and what is important to you. Decorating your life is more important than any other kind of decorating you can do this season. Before you put up the holiday ornaments this year, remember to first light up yourself from within.
