Making Your Days Merry And Bright

ITS CHRISTMAS EVE🎄🎄🎄 Happy Friday Everyone!!! My hope is that everything is going well for you today. 2021 has added several layers to a normally wonderful time of the year. I want to encourage you to walk towards the light. Seek the silver lining. Find yourself and don't let go. Happiness is a mindset especially during the Christmas season. It's your life. You are the one who controls the decisions you make. You are the one who must live with the consequences. It all falls on you about the things you do. We are on a perpetual grind to achieve success. It's time to stop and celebrate the holiday.  Take some time to be happy. I generate joy and I share my love and light with all. My foundation is sure with Jesus Christ and my ceiling reaches up to heaven above. I no longer trade my beauty for the ashes of the miserable. I just pray that God blesses my loved ones near and far and watches over them until we see each other again. How about you? Are you happy? Is your glass half full? Or are you dying of thirst? Here are some pointers for surviving the holidays:

-Stay hydrated

-Set boundaries

-Stick to a budget

-Manage your time

-Lean into your support circle

-Practice gratitude

Please note that some folks are struggling to make it. Prince sang about "Another Lonely Christmas" because of a Christmas Day death. We must acknowledge people and their mental health needs. During the pandemic, many cities have sponsored and updated wellbeing checks to ensure residents are cared for. Social media has taken the stigma from asking for virtual hugs, kind words, or motivational quotes. Last year, I asked for some "purple love" to be sent to me. The response was overwhelming and overflowing. Special shout out to all Prince fans. The Purple Family sent every Prince photo, purple hearts and music clips which brightened my day. All my purple lovers groups posted every purple product you could want. Although I couldn't speak to why I felt that way, but the positive vibrations lifted my mood and energized my spirit.Friends and family have been checking on me to lend an ear and soothe my soul during my recovery. So I ask you now... are you making merry? Who is in your corner this time of the year? Is your circle lifting you up? Are your emotional tanks full or empty? Know that I care and am concerned about you. Please share your comments below.  Thank you for reading this article and supporting this blogspace. Stay safe,  masked and healthy.

Take Care and God Bless!!!
