Holiday Inspiration

I’ve been trying to think of something to post here as a “Christmas Message” that might offer inspiration, or peace, or joy to anyone who would see it. Unfortunately, I just couldn’t come up with anything, until I remembered this short piece that was being shared on Facebook just before Thanksgiving. The response was so enthusiastic, I thought today might be a good time to re-post it.

Some thoughts as we enter the holiday season…

It is important to remember that not everyone is surrounded by large wonderful families. Some of us have problems during the holidays, and some of us are overcome with great sadness when we remember the loved ones who are not with us. Many people have no one to spend these times with and are besieged by loneliness. We all need caring, loving thoughts right now. If I don’t see your name I will understand.

May I ask my friends, wherever you might be, to kindly copy, paste and post this status for one hour to give a moment of support for all those who have family problems, health struggles, job issues, worries of any kind and just need to know someone cares? Do it for all of us, for nobody is immune. I hope to see this on the Facebook Timeline of all my friends, just for moral support. I know someone will! I did it for a friend and you can too!

I wish I could recall from whom I originally received this bit of writing, but I have no idea. So… Take it and use it as you please, and know that many will find and share it too.

Merry Christmas to all…
