We all need a break! This season, I hope you can…
Stop.
Rest.
Relax.
Say no to work (work-work or stuff that needs to be done).
Say yes to fun and spontaneity.
Play games.
Sing songs.
Make good food.
Eat good food.
Spend time with friends and family.
Serve others.
Be bored.
Sleep in.
Do nothing.
Stop.
Rest.
Relax.

At the same time, I hope that we can remember those…
…who are missing loved ones.
…who dread the days at home without the structure of school.
…who fear that they won’t have presents this season.
…who do not find the holidays joyful.
…who are in pain (physical, emotional, spiritual).
…who need a reminder that they are loved.

Take a minute and text someone, will you? Send them a chocolate bar. Stop by and say hi. Give them a hug. Send a little encouragement their way this holiday season. Let them know that they are not alone.

Happy holidays to you all!
