Midnight Mass

I attended Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. It has been so long since I did that. I was debating whether I should go, but finally decided to.

I'm glad I went, because I really liked one of the analogies that they made. They spoke about thoughts, and how Peter Pan and Harry Potter both had to use the power of "thought". Peter Pan could only fly with pixie dust and happy thoughts, and Harry Potter could only use happy thoughts to conjure up a spell to defeat soul sucking dementors. I can defeat my inner devil, doubt, through thoughts- thoughts of happiness, hope, joys that I am already blessed with, and confidence. With time, effort, persistence and faith in fairness and love, I can overcome my obstacles and I'm sure I will be just as blessed as everyone else. I won't have to beg for happiness someday. I won't have to live on pieces thrown down on me by fate- I'll have things to look forward to, I'll have a successful career, I'll have a deeper understanding of life, I'll have a happy family and I'll be able to make a difference in this world.
