We need not be a naysayers of this year soon to have gone by. No. With the most extreme highs and joys came deepest pains and lows. ... Choose to not stand ungrateful because more tears than you can count have flowed from your eyes or because your heart has been torn to shreds. No. Instead add to your raw and deep pain the new experiences you now know and have lived. Thanks to this year. The joy. These pains. You know, even if you don't want to or ever wish too, you now know you have the life experience to survive. Thank you 2020 We are truly humbled. AuKeeRa

Today you’re either riding a high or feeling a tad melancholy. If you feel overlooked or feel you’ve overlooked someone, it’s okay. I’ve been busy or I am busy doesn’t mean you no longer care about someone or that they don’t care about you. It seems many people believe, if they were a priority relationship in your life, you would MAKE time for them. Let’s do a reality check before you start guilting yourself into believing that or feeling you’ve been dismissed by somebod...y, or that you’ve not been there enough fir someone, okay? Maybe, you’ve needed more time for you, then of course others are not your priority, you are. This goes for others too. And maybe, you have a family you want to spend as much time with as you can therefore they are supposed to be a priority at this time. If someone doesn’t understand your life, then it is they who are not understanding what ‘busy’ means to you. And yes, work. You know we all have days where after work and/or on weekends, we sometimes don’t want to see anyone or talk y to o anyone, even if it’s through text or video chat. We need our downtime with ourselves, family, to tidy our homes or catch up on our own stuff. This doesn’t mean we don’t value, aren’t valued by others, or are discounting our friendships or other family by saying I’m busy or I don’t have time right now. Right now, at this time, you ARE busy and that’s all that matters. You are allowed to say no and others are allowed to say no to us. Take care of you and your needs, and everything else falls into place. Friends and family will be there for a visit, when you or they, have time. Remember, we are all busy doing our best to live our lives. Ignore the guilt from you or others. When life shakes out, and settles down, those who’re meant to be there will remain. All my love, AuKeeRa

This morning hopefully you will find your first (maybe already second) wind to start the next phase of holiday festivities that will be unique and different this year. Remember We can smile, be kind and bringing everyone’s spirits up over the screen it on the phone; allowing everyone, including ourselves, to feel comfortable. ... Or we can feel we are being isolated, forgotten, left out or be angry, bringing everyone down, including ourselves. Those who are close to us also know what’s going on as they’re going through their stuff too. You are not Jeff in the shadows or forgotten. It’s okay to have a different Christmas soon you get to see them again and visit them everyday if you like! Everything you do is worth your time if you choose to value it. Your grief is yours. Your heart can handle the joy and the pain. To have fun. Relax. Laugh. Visit. And know, this unique, seems rare and yet together family time will be over again for another year before you know it, and next year will be different again. Value it just the way it is, let it be enough, Incase next year doesn’t come for all those you love. Blessed be and all my love, I’m grateful for all you who have families who do your best to love you the way you are (although you may not always feel like they do ) AuKeeRa
