Day 51 - My 365, How do you measure a year?

Day 51:
Monday, December 5, 2011

It seems like every year I struggle to get into the Christmas spirit.  I assume it is because there is always so much else going on.  It seems like November and December area always so hectic as it is... without the holidays!  It's always a rat race, so much going on at work and in all of life.

I'm in the final push for the semester.  Just over a week left.  This morning was the last day of lab.  One week left means two lectures to give.  A final exam to give (and finish writing).  And literally a ton of stuff to grade for my lab section and lecture.  But it is the final push.  So today at work, I sang 'the final countdown'.  If life should be more like a musical, then shouldn't I sing a little more often?  :)

So of course it is busy and hectic.  It's December!  It's the holidays!  It's the end of the semester!  I've got so much I need to do!  So much I want to do!

But...  I've been taking moments to slow down.  To consider the season.  I've been listening to Christmas music already and trying to get into the mood!  It fits right into my new practice of being fully present in the moment.

This moment just happens to include sequins Christmas trees!  Love!
