Holidays

It doesn’t matter who or where you are-
There is a mass media reminder that
Thanksgiving, Chanukah, Christmas and a New Year
Are approaching.

That means:

People to visit, presents to buy, homes to prepare, and food to cook,
Pressure to look your best, behave appropriately, and fulfill obligations,
Resolutions to make - that you hope to keep.

It’s impossible to do it all!

Yet the mandate is clear-

Be joyous on the holidays!

I’m not sure about “joy” as the criteria for a successful holiday.
But it’s probably a good time to take a look at
Where you are in your life
And what’s important to you.

Do you need to:
Re-adjust the use of your time,
Change your priorities,
Set attainable and relevant goals,
Re-organize and connect to your support system?

Remember:
If you don’t take care of yourself-the rest will fall apart.
Deal with one day at a time.
Stay in the here and now.
Make the most of what you have

And find a way to-

Have a “Meaningful” Holiday Season!
