December 1st -- the first day of the last month of the year, the first day of Advent, the first day of meteorological winter, the day when I start to panic because I realize how much I still have to do to prepare for Christmas (spiritually and in a practical, worldly sense) and how very little time is left in which to do it all. This year, for many reasons, life is even more full than usual.
I know I will only be able to finish this year well with the help of the Lord. If I would tell myself that truth, multiple times, every day -- I will only be able to finish this day well with the help of the Lord -- my life would be filled with peace in spite of the turmoil around and within me.
