As I usually do, I posted a bunch of quotes on Facebook today. It feels good to send inspirational thoughts on there as well as on here. I really like the mantra do unto others as you would have done to you. It is not a cliche. I have been realizing just how much people mean to me. And, as I heard on TV, yes there is still some good on TV. You don't have to give up the fact that you are grateful just because so many other people are suffering. Don't feel guilty because you have & others have not. God is taking care of those people. Again, don't feel gulity because you have more than others. I have to remind myself this from this day forward. I feel for people, I really do. There is bad in the best of us, & good in the worst of us. We just have to look inside peoples' hearts & find the "real" them. What a bunch of gems in my mind that explode if I don't tell someone.
So, all of you enjoy the holiday season, however or whatever you celebrate. I feel like we should give more this season. Give of what you have, & it will be given back in some way. I don't believe that we will always get back, except maybe the joy of giving. I don't know for sure what to do, but I know that I have been blessed this year, I am so grateful that I can give.
