Over the years I have come to recognise the difference between aloneness and loneliness. I am happy in my own company but I do like now and then to be with friends and family. Of course, Christmas is renowned for being the time when we get together and show our love for our fellow human beings. So I wish you, my Yoga friends, all the joys of shared love but if that is not possible for you, then I hope somehow the joy of being part of the human race, and all the possibilities that brings, will be with you.

You may not love it most of all, but there are lots of singular winter pleasures waiting to cheer you - a warm fire, a good book, listening to Christmas Carols - with a glass of wine, maybe, as well. Don't forget to do some Yoga stretches now and then, and maybe ten minutes or a bit more of meditation to settle mind and body. I wish you peace and goodwill.
Namaste! Brenda.
