Holiday Blues

One major holiday down and another one to come. I am sure I am not the only person having difficulties with this time of year ---- family strife, expectations of spending money you don't have, grey cold days, too much food that makes you feel icky, etc. It is times like these that one needs to remember who is the important one -- YOU!!

Even though I have been in bed for two days, I am still trying hard to keep focused on the good, pray, and make myself not be brought down with the holiday "cheer." Life is so short one should make each day promising...at least by trying to do some sit ups, lift some weights, and maybe just take a nice long walk in your neighborhood. And...if possible, not over indulge with the food and alcohol. It is just short term comfort.

I hope if there is one person reading my blog that they will be touched in a positive way to look at the positive things in their lives and not focused on the bad. YOU are not alone! People always show the good, but I have learned that the majority of humans are experiencing some life difficulties --- finance, cancer, wayward children, family dysfunction, weight issues, low self esteem.

I want to raise YOUR self esteem...or at least give you hope that YOU have so much in your life (even when sometimes it feels like you don't).

Go for a walk, pet a neighbor's cat/dog, try to do sit ups during the next commercial, eat a piece of fruit with that next cookie. :)
