695 -How do you handle anticipation?

Today is Christmas Eve.

For many this is the day that gifts are exchanged, while others open presents on Christmas Day.

This is a day of great expectation and anticipation for many.

I once had a friend who got physically ill as a child while waiting for the arrival of Santa Clause.

Even joyful anticipation causes some people to get headaches, or have a queasy stomach.

Of course, it's self inflicted but no one teaches us about all the ways we can control our thoughts and alleviate stressful feelings.

I love the anticipation of Christmas morning. It's no longer about receiving but about giving and simply being with family.

What ever it is you are wishing and waiting for, I hope you have a wonderful holiday.
