School's out on break. The kids are home and high on sugar. My house is decorated in the spirit of Christmas, but I am just not feeling it. I sang-no spirit. I went to church- nothing. I went to party after party- no spirit. I gave- still no spirit. I am not depressed, so where is my Christmas spirit?
It is here and it is better than ever. You do not have to be happy all the time to have spirit. My spirit is content feeling all emotions. And right now, it feels sorrow. It feels for the people of Darfur and mourns for them. It appreciates the things most americans take for granted. Safety, freedom, a government that works (sometimes), and basic necessities. I think about Darfur constantly. My prayers are for them. My spirit is about them.
Today' s pill popping society says if you are sad you are depressed. When I am sad, it is my response to a sad situation. That sadness triggers me to act out and help. Why would I want to change that? I love it that I can feel. I thank you God that I have the ability to feel.
