Well, Thanksgiving is behind us and the Christmas season is fast approaching. I've been thinking about community and fellowship and how important it is to connect. Since I've been so busy over the last 3 years with grad school, I've not connected with people as much as I would have liked. Now that grad school is over, I've been playing catch up with family and friends. It feels good to connect.
I've also realized how much the connections energize me and gives me joy. I totally enjoy my house filled with people - especially the friends of my kids. They're so much fun and I completely enjoy hearing the laughter - even if it's into the wee hours of the morning! It means that the house is alive and we're alive - able to enjoy and experience the good things of life. Again, it's good to connect.
I also realize that these connections helps me with the creation of my artwork. It fills my reservoir so that when I need to tap into it - there is something there to give to me. The time spent being quiet (as I wrote about in the last blog) and the time spent in fellowship/connection with others gives a wonderful balance in the grounding of my being. It's good to experience people; it's good to connect!
So as this busy season comes upon us - enjoy the time and enjoy the connections. The blessings are enormous! Until next time, take care, enjoy, and God bless!!!
