JYC--Day 1

Today started with a Journal Your Christmas 3 question quiz.












I have always believed in the magic of the season. It is amazing to see how giving and generous people can be. Sometimes it gets a little difficult to not allow this magic to be overshadowed by the greed, commercialism, and entitlement that I see. It's a case of trying to keep my eyes on the goal.
Being grateful for the small things in everyday life is extremely important, When we fail to recognize these small daily blessings, we run the risk of being overcome and allowing ourselves to be swept away by the less than positive aspects of the day. We also take for granted many things and get caught in the hustle and bustle of life.
The holiday season is about love. I will always remember many different Christmas things with family. It doesn't have to be stressful and overdone---just loving.

Shimelle's Manifesto for this year is perfect for me. I don't have to change a thing about the words and sentiments. I did, however, change the colors to fit my own.
