I think it can be very easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the season, very easy! Its so busy!! The to-do lists seem so long, there is always something that has to get done, somewhere to be, someone to call. However, there are a lot of people out there that aren't busy or don't have the means to give their families the type of holiday that you or I are used to. Maybe the holiday season is hard for them for whatever reason, maybe they're just having a bad day. So I ask you, what have you done lately?
I'm not suggesting a grand gesture like giving away all of your time and money to charity, although, as a not-for-profit employee, that is very noble. I am asking you to get out of your own mind for a minute and hold the door for someone, offer a smile and a nice remark to the cashier at Starbucks, buy a homeless person a warm bowl of soup, offer your place in line for a parent that has their hands full, just send a little extra love out into the world. You know what the best part is? It feels amazing! Bringing joy to others is such a great feeling, I make a conscious do all of these things and the secret is, I am probably getting more out of it then them. I'm a true believer in you get what you give in life. So this holiday season, get out there and spread a little holiday cheer!
