The Big Peace

I can't work out who is more excited – charlie, me or oscar the dog.

It's Christmassssssssssssssssss! (sorry, three glasses down!)

I just would like to wish all you big peacers much love and happiness on Christmas day. I know it's been funny old year for me but you know, I'm beginning to realise that funny – be it ha ha or peculiar – can be good fun.

Just come back from the pub with my friends from the village who are funny ha, ha and I have laughed a lot.

I do love my friends and the happiness scientists are right – hanging out with our mates does make us happy. And be it the mums from the village who feed me wine and good conversation or enlightened Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power of Now – life can offer you exactly what you need at exactly the right moment.

For Christmas day, I thought I'd share the wisdom of Eckhart Tolle:

• Consider
  the thought:  “nothing exists
  outside this present moment’ and the idea that the past and the future are
  illusions. After all, they only exist to the degree we focus our
  attention on them right now.  We create the past and the
  future by imagining them in the present. But we don’t even
  exist outside the Now.”
• Consider
  the thought: “To be free of time is to be free of the psychological need
  of past for your identity and future for your fulfilment.”
• Consider
  the thought: “The psychological condition of fear is often divorced from
  any concrete and true immediate danger. It comes in many forms: unease,
  worry, anxiety, nervousness, tension, dread, phobia, and so on. This kind
  of psychological fear is always of something that might happen, not of something
  that is happening now.”

Give yourself the present of the present today. Have a liberated, enjoyable and very merry Christmas.

Much love,
