Somebody to Be There

Happy Winter Solstice!!!

It's one of my favorite days to celebrate. The days will now get longer (for all my friends in the northern hemisphere)! Out of the darkness and into the light. Whew!

Just a simple, but powerful thought for you this time.

Sometimes all a person needs is somebody to vent to. To tell their troubles. To say it out loud and feel heard.

If someone chooses to do that with you, all you really need to do is listen. It's important for their healing.

Sometimes you have a load you need to get off your heart. Or get the swirling thoughts out of your brain even if you think they are dumb.

Then you need to find a person you trust to vent to and find the courage in yourself to bear it all as honestly as you can.

That is also healing.

And sometimes it is all we need.

That and a deep breath.

Happy holidays to you and yours!
