As you all know I took a little sabbatical from writing. As the Holidays grow closer take time to reflect on all the positive in your life, even if you are presently going through a hard times. The best way to put you into the Holiday Spirit is to do random act of kindness. There is truly something amazing that happens inside you when you bring joy into someones life by doing a kind gesture, originally you do the gesture to bless them but in the end you receive a huge blessing. As the years have pasted the Holidays have become more and more stressful for many people. It seems now that retail stores put up all their Holiday things even before October 31st. Each year it seems to be one week earlier then the year before, then for so many people that suffer from Holiday anxiety it increases each year because everywhere you turn holiday decorations are up before October ends.
I remember growing up that on Christmas Eve we would go and get the tree and the day would be filled with amazing family times. Mom would be in the kitchen baking some amazing cookies that would make the whole house smell like a bakery, and Holiday music would be playing all day throughout the house as we decorated the entire house as a family. I feel throughout the years a lot has been lost during the holiday season. No matter how you celebrate the holiday season it should be a time that families come together and share great moments of reflection, don’t allow the stress of the holidays to eliminate the awesome times that can be had. So this year as you are standing in those long lines at the department stores instead of getting upset start humming a holiday tune that you love and watch how quickly your upset feeling turns to bubbling JOY!!
Today do a random act of kindness for someone and tell them to PAY IT FORWARD!!!
It could truly be amazing if everyone would just focus on be kind to one another.
