What he said! Love us some Thomas Gabriel

Holiday resilience

Holiday duality-cheer and anxiety, generosity and exhaustion. Another year of perseverance, making ends meet, stepping up to life’s demands whether we feel ready or not. We care for others even when it’s hard enough to care for ourselves. And yes, sometimes we forget our own humanity, losing patience, kindness, or worse. Traffic thickens, daylight fades too soon, sickness spreads-but still the lights glow, and the decor reminds us of beauty.

The struggle, the resilience, the cruelty, the compassion-they live within the collective unconscious. This is the shared story of humanity, the reminder that we are never alone in our battles. Every act of perseverance ties us to countless others who rise each day against the weight of life.

Your resilience is not yours alone. It is woven into the great human tapestry. You carry the strength of generations within you.

And those people in line keeping you from getting home? They want to be home too. They don’t want to pay all that money for what’s in their cart either. It’s okay. It’s all okay. Be kind. No rush. We are all in this together. Happy holidays. I love you all.
