Inner demons don't take a holiday

An advent wish from a friend:

First, I thought about blessings I would wish for for my daughters.

Second, in trying to focus on my main blessing, I chose the first Advent candle, peace.

Peace from inner demons kept presenting itself as the most important need for peace. As I lay awake in the wee hours of this morning, I realized that it is I who needs peace from fear, self-doubt, anxiety... my buried inner demons. Finally, my wish is for the blessing of peace and freedom from all our inner demons, whatever they may be.
