Happy Birthday

Last Friday I turned 40. When I turned 30, which I loved, I thought 40 was going to be tough. I loved 30, because I really felt like a grown up. I have finally arrived! Well, I have found over the last 10 years, that even though I was grown up, I still had a lot to learn. So, except for the grey hair that is moving in, and I now officially will stop doing anything about it (like plucking them out, who wants to be bald?), I just feel a little more grown up.

So, now I am wondering about 50. And I think I might like that because then I may actually have some wisdom. And I should have grandchildren by then. We'll see. Either way, I love celebrating my birthday at Christmas. It has always been just far enough away and BEFORE Christmas, that my family has recognized me. And I love thinking about my blessings, the baby Jesus, the beautiful music, and the season of giving and serving.

But birthdays and Christmas aren't so wonderful for everyone. Some people take their lives at Christmas. Some people are alone. Some people don't like getting older. What does one do? Yes, EFT to the rescue.

Even though I am 50 and that means....I deeply and completely accept myself. Tap all points.
Even though I am alone and depressed at Christmas...
Even though I have no one to love, I choose to know God loves me...
Even though I am getting old and aged...

Another idea is that we can always look outside ourselves to find others in a worse condition. And then we might be able to serve that someone. Service always makes us feel better. When we change the negative energy and then look outside ourselves to lift another we can truly give ourselves the gift of joy. It is a natural side benefit of serving. Of course, the greatest gift was the little baby born so long ago in a stable. His gift of life eternal enables us to enjoy all the blessing of life. Happy Birthday to us!

Blessings, Dawn
