Winter Wonderland 

🎜🎜

"Sleigh bells ring, are you listening

In the lane, snow is glistening

A beautiful sight

We're happy tonight

Walking in a winter wonderland."

Winter Wonderland 

🎜🎜

"In the meadow we can build a snowman

Then pretend that he is Parson Brown

He'll say, Are you married?

We'll say, No man

But you can do the job

When you're in town."

Song written by Felix Bernard and Richard B Smith

Winter Wonderland 

🎜🎜

"Later on, we'll conspire

As we dream by the fire

To face unafraid

The plans that we've made

Walking in a winter wonderland."

Song written by Felix Bernard and Richard B Smith

Have Yourself a Merry little Christmas

🎜🎝

"Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
Next year all our troubles will be out of sight.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Make the Yuletide gay

Next year all our troubles will be miles away

Once again as in olden days

Happy golden days of yore

Faithful friends who are dear to us

Will be near to us, once more.

Someday soon we all will be together 

If the fates allow.

Until then we'll have to muddle through somehow

So have yourself a merry little Christmas NOW."

song written by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane

Wishing you a joyous and prosperous new year!

💙

May you face unafraid the plans that you made!

Stress and Struggle Makes Life More Meaningful

"What man needs is not a tensionless state, but rather the striving and struggling for a worthy goal. What he needs is not a tension discharged at any cost, but the call of a potential meaning fulfilled by him."

Victor Frankl

Stress isn't the Enemy

You may think stress is the enemy you need to eliminate from your life. Yet it is your ability to rev up, get excited, and move into high gear that helps you be more productive and successful. 


You could say the fullness of our lives is created out of stress. Think how boring and bland an uneventful life would be with nothing to get your blood boiling and nothing to get twitterpatted about.  

The fact is each of us likes to have a certain level of stuff going on in our life. If we don't have enough stress, we'll create it to get our juices flowing again.

Our ability to respond to life's challenges in a timely fashion is thanks to our having a great functioning stress hormone system. We would not be able to thrive without it.

Our stress response is behind our e-motions (energy-in-motion) giving us the ump to act with emphasis and excitement to move our lives forward--and giving us the strength to rise above difficult circumstances and endure what we can not escape.

Sure, life can be a slog and struggle, sometimes pulling us down. But it is the stress of an immediate situation that spurs us on to create a better tomorrow. So instead of lamenting about how to eliminate stress learn how to properly use stress and re-balance yourself with relaxing activities to 'clear the palate'.

As Frankl said, to have a meaningful life we don't need a tension-less life, but the striving and struggle for a worthy goal--a 'potential meaning' discharged by ourselves. 

It is the struggle and striving for something worthwhile that is life itself. Stop getting bogged down by being stressed and learn to welcome the challenges of life as the stuff of life giving you something to struggle against worthy of you.

  

No Matter Your Circumstances, Be the Person You Want to Be In Life

What's stressing you out at the moment? How can you embrace the striving and struggle in the situation to create a more fullfilling life? What is your worthy goal worth striving for? 

What is it you want to see in the world? How can you transform yourself to be the person you want to be in life? 

Accept the Challenge

💓Be the Change you want to see in Life. 💙Be the Cheer you want to see in Life. 💚Be the Love you want to see. 💓Be the Compassion you want to experience in Life.💜 Be the strong Leader you want to have in Life.

BE ALIVE~ENGAGE IN LIFE

"Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do."  Johann von Goethe

"First say to yourself what you would be, and then do what you have to do.  Epictetus

SAY WHAT YOU WOULD BE, THEN BECOME IT

Sound Advice for Would-be-Confidants: Be Sounding Boards, not Know-it-Alls

What Makes a Good Friend or Confidant? 

💓Who do you go to when you need to unload your secret fears, life gripes, or hurts and frustrations? 
💙What do you look for in a confidant? 
💛What makes you trust one person with your doubts and fears but fail to trust another?

Me? I trust the friend who can listen through what I say about myself or another person without judging me or that person. 

I don't need or want a confidant to take on what I'm unloading--forever holding a grudge against someone I'm venting my spleen about. I just want to vent my spleen.

I want a confidant who can listen to my complaints as they're meant to be--momentary life stories--that change with the telling. 

I don't need or want a friend to take on the responsibility of my life story--or to hold me to my story as a forever truth.

Emotions just are--they're true in the moment. I might be really frustrated at work or furious with a family member, but often after having the opportunity to openly share my feelings I let them go and move on.

I want a friend who will encourage me to see I have the strength and ability to handle whatever situation comes up in life, rather than telling me how to handle a situation. 

In my moments of weakness, I want a trusted person to encourage me to trust myself, knowing everything will work out.

Be a Sounding Board, Not a Know-it-All

The value of a true friend is not in their ability to tell us what to do, think or feel, but in their ability to listen deeply to our concerns without reproach or reply. 

Through silently and gracefully listening to us share our inner most fears and doubts, true friends give us room to discover 'everything is secretly okay'--we're not doomed to be upset by this situation forever, and we're not horrid people for thinking such things.

If you would be a true friend, learn to be a sounding board, not a know-it-all. Listen intently when someone shares from the depth of their heart. Don't interrupt and impart your wisdom to show how smart you are. Give other people room to feel their feelings and think their thoughts.

Listen unto others as you would have listened unto yourself.

"What Big Ears you have"..."The better to hear you."

Help People Wipe Away the Invisible Tears

We are all always always listening for hope. When we serve as a sounding board for another--without reproach or reply--we provide her an avenue to let it all go and wipe away the invisible tears.

Use your big ears for deep listening, and help those who confide in you to wipe away the invisible tears. You will be rewarded with a deep, long-standing friendship that withstands the test of time.
