HEY FOLKS,
Just wanted to say have a Blessed Holiday and enjoy your family, loved ones and friends.
May I offer one tidbit of advice. Today is NOT THE DAY to decide to resolve deep family issues.
TRUST ME, Don't even bring them up. Enjoy the day and leave it at that. There are 364 other days to do so and I suggest you pick one and take care of business so that no bitter root grows up within you and defiles many. But today, pray before joining your family get together. Pray and ask God to help you remember all of the qualities of your family members that you love the most. Focus on those and those only.
Smile when they try to take you down a road that you shouldn't go and take the road above it.
You will never regret holding your tongue and by the way, that's a rule I LIVE BY. You can always speak later when you have had time to reflect, calm down and prepare yourself with appropriate words that you won't regret throwing in the HEAT OF THE MOMENT. So....enjoy your day and truly focus on Thankfulness. When our mind is focused on being GRATEFUL- you'll find it harder to nitpick! One last thing. Never forget that you are a flawed human as well. We often forget that if someone is driving us crazy, you can take it to the bank that you are driving someone crazy too. Take a look in the mirror before you throw a stone.We all need forgiveness....each and everyone!
I'll be back next week....turkey's in the oven and it's time to hit my home gym for a fast 6 mile run.
God's speed,
Candace
