We’re just days away from celebrating Thanksgiving, followed by the Christmas holidays. In recent years, our Thanksgiving Day consisted of a meal followed by putting up the Christmas tree while sipping hot chocolate and listening to Christmas carols. This year will be a little different. This year, we’ll create a new rhythm. Our time will be divided, and our celebration will look different. But just as the seasons of the year arrive, we enjoy them, and they pass, so too do the seasons of our lives. This season feels new, but within that newness lies magic. Discovering new experiences and, above all, embracing things more tightly. Welcoming the new also means letting go of what once felt perfect. Just as the leaves fall from the trees without hesitation to eventually make way for new ones, so it is with our lives. Today, I give thanks for everything I’ve had to release to welcome this new rhythm, this new stage, these new experiences.
