And so this is Christmas, and what have you done? Another year over…
December 21, 2009I have been spontaneously singing this song lately in public (mostly when drunk, which unfortunately for my liver is often at this time of the year).
It is such a simple but beautiful song. It reflects on what many people think at this time of the year. It makes me think back to a year ago. In some ways it seems so long since last Christmas. It has been such an incredibly eventful year! I have accomplished many of the things I wanted this year. Namely it was Finding Joy.
This has a double meaning. One was the obvious. Finding joy in life. The things and people that make me smile and rejoice. I have had many times of joy this year and I know that whatever life brings I can always find joy in many different ways.
The other way I have been finding “Joy” is in “finding” myself. I am Joy. It is my middle name.
One thing I was left with last year is not knowing who I was- beyond my physical presence and my name… However I find myself knowing more of myself as time goes on and I know this will be a continued journey- I find great Joy in that 
It is time to think about what I want for next year. Part of that is wanting to help others… I am not sure how I can do this but will contemplate it…
“A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
Let’s hope it’s a good one, Without any fear…”
