[QUOTE="Star*, post: 110192, member: 4964"] Willow, A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR SON!!! I've decided that since this day is Christmas and it represents the birth of Jesus - that instead of getting - I'm going to give a present to him. I figured out sitting and watching the moon last night that every year Christmas rolls around and it seems to bring out the absolute best or worst in folks. All running around making plans, getting upset, feeling like a failure, doing without, and I just don't think - this is what this day should represent. Then I sat and wondered if this were MY birthday would I expect to give presents or get them. This is when I realized I hadn't given a present to the person whom this day is for. And what could I give? So I figured I would give a better version of myself in daily life. I will try to be more appreciative of the things that I do have - the blessings I have, not sad for the things that I don't. I'm going to work on being more helpful, kinder to others, giving, charitable - and when I do this - it will be my present for the birthday we celebrate, but somehow have seemingly lost sight of. I'm vowing to make this the last holiday that is so sad - and work the next 364 days towards making next year a total blow out. Because I don't ever want to feel like this again - but only I can make that choice. IF I start now - I may make it by this day next year. I wish you peace, joy and love for the coming year, and a special caring for your (also) hurting heart Willow - Much Love & Merry Christmas Star [/QUOTE]
