Winter bliss: experience light and joy this winter

New Life Journal, Dec, 2004 by Pamela L. Chubbuck

Above all, accept yourself for where you are. All these suggestions are good ones, and resolutions and commitments to yourself are very important. If you break a promise to yourself, learn the power of self-forgiveness, recommit and move on. Soon it will be February, and here in the South we often see the first crocuses peeking up out of a cold earth heralding another spring-the promise of life. Praises be! We will have made it through winter and happily made it the best one ever!
