I've been slow to get into the holiday spirit this year.  Like you, I've got a lot going on, and I'm still processing loss and transition from big changes that happened this year.  I've found myself tolerating the holidays and waiting for them to be over.  But really, how fun is that?



One day this week, I got an invitation to play from my 3-leggede companion, Mitch.  His invitations are a cross between a growl and a whine.  The unmistakable message is:  "Mom...give me some love."



How could I resist?  I'm on the floor with him and the Christmas decorations in the as-yet unopened Christmas boxes began to call to me.

And then a little magic happened.  We played.  He tolerated that Santa hat for 3 seconds before throwing it off...over and over before I got the shot.  I smiled..then laughed...and realized just how much better I felt.  
 
When the "life is short. eat cake." quote came to me, I said aloud: "Really?"  What kind of holiday message is this?  



Well, I think it's a good one.  Let's go a little further...

• life is short

• eat the cake

• call the friend

• take the walk

• cherish the guy (or girl)

• feel the sun

• love the belly

• savor the moment

• live the life

And there's lots more.  

The point is:  do the little things in life that feel good, that give pleasure, that express love...because life really is short.

Mitch knows...

At rosecorrick.com, a theme that often emerges with clients is a lack of meaning and purpose in their lives.   This Third Act of our lives has great opportunity for growth but it also comes with lots of challenges.  It requires taking a new look at ourselves and our lives in order to have joy and meaning in our lives as we grow older.



I personally know the value of working with a trusted coach and because of the transformative experiences I have had with my coach, I chose this path for the next chapter of my life...to help others live their best life.
