It is a very busy time of year with the upcoming holiday season. Everyone is trying to not only meet our normal daily obligations but in addition finish our shopping and preparations for the holiday season. The holiday season is supposed to be a time of love, reflection, and happiness but every holiday season I notice the same thing...most people are cranky, impatient, and just generally in a foul mood (I myself am guilty of this from time to time).
But why at one of the happiest times of year are we in our worst moods? I believe the cause comes from us becoming so busy we often forget one of our most important tasks; taking care of our soul. I have spoken about this quite often in the past when discussing the importance of our personal sanctuaries and was reminded about it while working through my book last night. I thought today I would share a passage from a past post as a friendly reminder.
