The Flimsiest Day of the Year

It’s December 26, the flimsiest day of the year. You can see right through it. And you don’t like what you see. A day that follows the most overhyped day ever. The fall into the 26th is always the same. You look around the house with a dull eye, a fat belly and greasy hair. You do mental penance for overeating the day before. You may possibly have overspent and your fondest dreams did not come true. Thank God this is a flimsy day. You are lucky if you are not coughing or sneezing. Lucky if you slept well Christmas night. I was born with a healthy mistrust of superficially induced feelings. Ah, I feel better for having expressed that.

Now I can get back to what I was born to do. Overcome doing and just be. December 26th should be named National Beingness Day. All wacky outfits, including those on cars, should be  banned. No fruitcakes shall be eaten. Nothing shall be returned but thanks and everything will be seen exactly as it is.

The postman won’t be bringing bills until Monday; the house won’t be cleaned until…whenever. And I shall be here clearing my sinuses and my head of what is called the most wonderful day of  the year. That slot is still waiting to be filled.

I would like to thank all of you who have bought my book and supported me in the journey of writing from the heart. Because of you, my black little heart is sometimes almost beatific.

  1. Hey I like your stuff. Especially the St.Stpehens post here. Your straight forward approach is just great we seem to be from the sam anti mysticism school of thought on all this

  2. I’m with you 🙂 – getting back to what I was born to do – or to be. And I “flimsied” out all day yesterday too – finally breathing again – phew that’s over with – for another year…

    And hey, mystics do have their place too – after all, we love to ‘just be.’ 🙂

    Keep writing. It’s good for our “little black hearts” 🙂

  3. “Being is the new doing for some of us” – beautiful!! Vicki I have just ‘discovered ‘ you thanks to Soulful Living. Your writing is magical and I know I will be feasting for some time on all I can find. I also lost a daughter and a loved long-term partner to cancer and have written much for myself on my journey through grief. I am relating to a lot of what I have read from you so far. I know I am going to be inspired, encouraged and delighted as I continue to read your writing and I already have your book down as a ‘must read.’
    Blessings!! Carolyn

  4. Glad you found me. I think soulfulliving.com does great work. Yes, you will like
    my book and see your own journey in it, hopefully. It took a long time for me to get to the “do it” stage and I haven’t regretted it.
