Coming Up for Air from Holiday Success

The holidays are my favorite. When I hear Andy Williams belt out "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," I know the holiday season has begun (as well as the 24/7 Christmas songs on the radio stations). I have been fortunate over the past few years to be able to slow down and enjoy the period of days when crisp autumn leaves fall victim to frosty mornings and the goodness seaps out of random strangers in one way or another. However this year, my slow down never really occurred. I worked right up to and after each holiday like wildfire. I sat back over my New Year's day off and thought about what had happened. How did I miss out on those quiet moments I love - like sitting in the dark and staring at the Christmas tree? And like most reflective moments - it hits you like a ton of bricks when you least expect it.

I'd been given a dose of success.
