Have you ever felt a little short of the right "festive" spirit? I know that it's not limited to just me. More and more, the people that I talk to are saying that something is missing. As we head into the Easter weekend, all I can see is the work that lies ahead and that stuff that didn't get finished. Hard to pinpoint, but the feeling, the lightness, definitely isn't there. We've bought the chocolate eggs, slabs and bunnies, but it's as if a certain "spark" has gone out of the holiday itself.
The thing is ... the holiday hasn't changed. True, it's a little over commercialised, but at the end of the day, the spark was always in all of us and now it's gone. Perhaps we're just burnt out? I think that this may well be the case, but if so, how do we recapture the mood?
My best suggestions? Take the time to find out what makes you happy. What is it that refreshes your spirit, makes you smile, makes you happy? It could be a 7 week old puppy, setting up an egg hunt for a small child, or simply sleeping late and getting coffee in bed. Whatever it is, make the effort to find out and to indulge. It's far less fattening than the chocolate, but just as rewarding.
Who knows.... we may just be able to recapture the magic after all!
'Til next time.
Love,
Me
