Merry Christmas?
So I’m going
to just jump right into this because I have a new juicer and I’ve created something
that will make me smile all day. It’s got beets, celery, parsley, cilantro, flax
and chia seeds. There’s apple and blueberries, whey protein and ginger. I’ve
given it a name, but I’m keeping it to myself.
Anyway, it’s
Christmas morning and yesterday I got a note from a friend who wanted me to
make sure that I kept Christ in Christmas and another wishing me Merry Mithramas
after the Persian sun God born on December 25th. The date was used by
Christian leaders as the birth of Christ to appease the pagans.
Someone else
called and said “bahumbug” and I tried my best to ignore all of the forwarded messages
on my cellphone from folks I only hear from on holidays.
So what does
it all mean Corky? What do we do when we no longer believe that a guy in a red
suit is coming down the fake chimney?
You can join
me, or stay as you are; I take what I need to be better, do better, love more
and reach my highest potential. Like the amazing beverage I’m having it has all
kinds of things in it, and it’s good for me.
I am cut
from the rock of Christianity and even though some scholars believe that the
birth of Christ is somewhere closer to April 6---why I don’t know; I have
chosen to live everyday as if it is the re-birth of my salvation.
Each day is
new and so is my thinking. So Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa,
Happy Boxing Day, Happy You.
Live your beliefs so well, that
others see the fruit and not your disagreement with the tree.
Be you, be well, be
your beliefs.
