The Gift of Thoughtful Intention

To all of those celebrating Christmas today, I wish you the merriest of days. I wish you joy and laughter, the warmth of gathering and the comfort of sitting around a table in festivity. And if Christmas is a hard day for you, I wish you strength and courage. What I hope for you most of all is the gift of thoughtful intention; not only for today but for every day. I hope that you can be both thoughtful in your intentions to others and receive that in return.  When we hold someone in our thoughts, we are considering them; we are protecting them with benevolent energy. When we make an intention towards someone, we have moved to action. That might be in the form of a prayer, a gift, an act of love, an emotional bid, a genuine hug or a warm smile. Thoughtful intentions are both validating and liberating; they create peace and build grace. Sounds like a lovely way to spend the day :) Photo credit:   http://Photo by Joanna Kosinska on Unsplash If you liked this post, consider subscribing; daily bits of advice will be delivered to your inbox; creating an anchor to your day.
