It’s that time of year for laughter, love and good cheer and yet you’re not happy. Well, we get it!
You play up this huge fantasy in your mind of what the holidays should be like, feeling like it’s not that simple. Well actually, it is. You see, the holidays aren’t just about bright lights, gifts, immediate family and friends. The holidays are about celebrating, and appreciating the gift of life. It’s about giving to others, and giving back, helping to make a difference in someone else’s life. It’s also about extended family who often times treat you better than family, but only receive partial credit for their role in your life. It’s about the small rewards you have been blessed with throughout the year that came in the form of a trial or an unwanted test you ultimately passed, but suffered through. It’s about shutting down life as you know it to be and spending time with an elderly family member you haven’t seen in ages, an elderly neighbor or a friend in need. Did you know that a simple phone call this time of year is priceless?
You see Doll, sometimes being a small blessing to others gives us purpose and helps to shake the holiday blues. Be sure to find a way to give back this holiday.
