Stress of the Holiday's
This is the week where stress seems to tippeth over. I have seen it repeat itself year after year. We have evolved internally apart from our families. And , this one week... each year... we return to an operating system (IE family) that uses technology from 5, 10, 20, even 30 years ago to function. We return with the expectation that their will be a kind and loving experience. And, when it doesn't, then disappointment prevails. The most functional families evolve to adapt to the growth of the individuals. When families don't evolve they use constructs and beliefs that are outdated and no longer truly valid. To survive this conundrum peacefully it takes patience, appreciation, and surrender. More, it takes appreciation for what family meant to our past, our history, and who we are today.
