Appearances can be deceiving.
Appearances can give you pause.
Appearances can cause you to feel distressed and slightly depressed and like not getting dressed.
But All is not always as it appears, so look deeper, believe for the best and wait a beat or two to fly into a panic.
Don't run around acting all manic.
So you are stressed and tired and feel you have no options or recourse.
Yes, it is important to keep moving forward in life.
It is valuable to always reach for the stars.
But rushing around all the day will cause you
to pay dearly and nearly take you out.
Make you cranky and throw you into a pout.
So remember, part of forward is stop.
Part of success is not constantly reaching for the stars, but sitting quietly and gazing at them. Part of taking care of your family is taking time to be set apart from them, to collect your thoughts and center your heart.
As you grow weary, nothings feel like giant somethings and somethings appear ten kinds of impossible.
So sit down gaze at the stars and consider who hung them in place with care.
You can't do it all. I can't do it all.
It's Christmas, a time to consider that oh so tiny bundle of love that is the focus and heart of the season.
That bundle who can take the burden that is crushing you and help you stand tall and strong once again.
By all appearances you might be in a pickle.
At every angle your life might look like a giant tangle.
If you realize you need to look from a different view, take a cue from the keeper of the stars and all at once you will express an enormous Whew!!!!
He can see what we cannot.
And reach farther than you ever possibly thought.
Do what you will. Believe and expect how you want.
For me, I will consider who hung the stars in place with care and choose to believe life is about to get better,
the burden lighter and the days sweeter.
Because as I consider the stars,
I know the dude that did
this incredible feat
is worth giving my all
and worshipping at
His feet.
