2018 is ending.........

I am sure there are a few of you that can agree to that statement.

I also realize that there is nothing we can do about it. What is done is done. No amount of wishing can change it.

So, why cry or pout about it? Let's leave the problems in the past but keep the lessons.

If I wronged you, It wasn't intentional. I was just wrapped up in my own stuff, I am sorry.

If you wronged me, lesson learned. I am over it.

If we don't talk any longer, I do wish you well. I have let it go.

I am certain 2019 will bring its fair share of problems, but I will not let it bring me down, I will let it shape me to be a better me.

Yeah, that last sentence was a bit much, even for me. Lol

I did learn. I am in a constant state of learning. We all are. So how about this instead?

We are human, we will continue to make mistakes, and we will learn from them. We may even be able to look back on the years problems and say, "I am different and realize what is worth keeping and what to let go of."

But 2019, I am tired of learning..........

Until Next Time,

Hey there Mr. Grinch........

The Holiday's do not always bring out the warm 'n fuzzy feelings of Peace, Love, and Hope for everyone.

No, they can bring out the, Stink, Stank, and Stunk, making us a Mr. Grinch during the Holiday's.

Holiday's are times filled with family, friends, happiness, etc....

So, what happens when we do not have that happy family life? Our friends have families of their own to spend time with during the holidays. What if, we have been so broken during the year, we can't find the joy of the holiday's? What if, we are so stressed out by life, that we have become Mr. Grinch?

We all know what happened to the Grinch. He faced a cold cruel life and allowed it shrink his love towards others. So much so, that he wanted everyone to be as miserable as he was feeling.

As soon as he was shown Kindness, his feelings of cruelty simply faded away.

A simple act of kindness can change a person's life in the most amazing ways.

The next time you come across a, Mr. Grinch, show kindness instead. Reach out and make time for those in ways that you do not normally do.

We all make time for what we want when we want, this is no different.


Think about it.


Holiday's are not just about us and who we know in our world, it is about others.

Or is it so important to you that you are right, first, and get that perfect gift,

that you have become,

Mr. Grinch?

Until Next Time,
~It is what it is~
