MERRY CHRISTMAS

1. Be grateful. Be very grateful. Folk would kill for the little you do have.
2. Be thankful. No one ever has to do anything for you.
3. Look back and acknowledge that you made it. You're a lot stronger than you think.
4. Be happy. Smile. Things could be a lot worse.Refuse to allow your spirit to be broken by those who are bitter.
5. Pray. God knows, anyway, would love to hear from you--all of the details-- and He won't blab it all over the place.
6. Purpose to take care of yourself. You're useless to others if you don't.
7. Be sensible about the resolutions. Don't be ridiculous.
8. Take another look at "no". It's a really cool word.
9. Take another look at "yes". There are some things you ought not decline. They're blessings.
10. Laugh. It's better than any drug or drip.
11. Determine not to let darkness change you. Be the light.
12. Don't simmer or stew. Say what needs to be said. No fear.
13. Be honest. It's a sign of love.
14. Work as if no one's watching except God.
15. Test the atmosphere. Don't sit there and suffocate.
16. Be teachable. There's no age limit on that.
17. Acknowledge what you see, good or bad, and let it (or them) know. "I see you".
18. Protect your family. Cover your children. Don't leave them exposed and then wonder why they're shivering or burned.
19. Travel light.
20. Remember that Love wins. It always does-- even when the game looked iffy.
21. Remember you're in charge of you. How you feel, react, etc. is up to you.
22. Don't give away your strength to those who operate from a place of weakness.
23. See the good. Look for it, diligently. It's there.
24. Consider how effective silence is.
25. Gleefully celebrate those who celebrate you.
