Happy Friday! The countdown is on... one week until Christmas. I am surprising my hubby and taking him out to dinner tomorrow evening, maybe a movie, or some shopping/walking around to enjoy the Christmas season.
Live in the now. Be in the present. Stop what you are doing and really take something in. Enjoy a child walking and shopping with their parents, breath in the fresh, crisp, cool air (assuming you are somewhere cool) and really breath it in, close your eyes and take 5 deep breaths and relax and think... if you are feeling overwhelmed, or stressed, do you really have any reason to feel stressed? Is it that bad? Do you have a roof over your head, a bed to sleep in, food in your belly, family and friends who love you, clothes on your back? Be thankful for the many things that you do have today and make sure your appreciation is accredited to the One who deserves the praise and thanks.
Have a blessed week... until next week...
