-This just came in- The Holiday Season Now that the holidays are upon us, some of us are going to be filled with the joy of the holiday spirit, and spending money & quality time with the family, near and far. Although this is suppose to be a special time of the year, for some it can be a struggle. Their are some of us out there that have suffered from( myself included) & will go through depression, winter blues, a condition called SAD, (seasonal affective disorder) & the feeling of lonliness due to the passing of a family icon like their parents, grandparents, husband, wife, or even a lack of employment, or a shortage of funds. Although this time of year can be a struggle please do not let it get you down to the point where you try to avoid what you are feeling, ignore the pain, or even avoid family and friends all together. What we do not realize sometimes is this..... the thing that will really help you to get through this season is doing just the opposite of this. First, allow yourself to feel that emotion so your body, mind and spirit can process it. look at those old photos, recipes, and memories & smile because you have them, retrain your brain to feel the joy, instead of only the pain. Next, spend as much time as you can surrounding yourself with those whom you love and love you. Lastly, try to stay away from folks that tend to bring you down, negative energy, and people that want to, and enjoy being miserable. Always remember you are loved, blessed, and your time here with your loved ones may be shorter than you think.......so cherish it!!! #ThisisthedaythattheLordhasmadesorejoiceinit!
