Don't make me hit you with my candy cane!!!! |
Merry M-O-N-D-A-Y?????
Okay, before you toss your coffee cup at the screen, think
about it. Today you hold INCREDIBLE POWER in your hands! You can CHOOSE to be a grinchy, grumpy Monday maniac, grousing around and bringing yourself and the
rest of the world down with you.
Or… you
can choose to live in “opposite world” and put your own "stuff" aside and look at the needs of
others today.
What can you do to bring a
smile to someone else? How can you make
merry as a gift? Can you get a cup of
coffee for somebody? Pay the bill for
the person behind you at the fast food place (c’mon, you know you still go
there once in a blue moon even though you’re eating healthy most of the
time). How about just holding the door
for someone else at the store? Biting your
tongue and adding another level of grace to your presence when the other person
who is driving you crazy deserves to be given a good what-for?
Maybe surprise the kids or a friend or the hubs or a family member with a
surprise trip for a cup of cocoa?
It
doesn’t have to be anything big. Stopping
what you’re doing to give the person in front of you 100% of your attention –
eye contact and all! A phone call to say
you’re thinking about someone, or a quick email or note. Maybe it’s just something as inexpensive (and
priceless) as giving a complete stranger your smile.
Think about it. Pray
about it. Then be the gift to someone
today. A side benefit will be how good you will feel today - and that's a great way to stay healthy during the holidays.
Because you are priceless and
your smile may be the most incredible present someone gets today.
Blessings,
Coach Linda
