Okay, reality check. I work with so many single/divorced men and women (not to mention married people) who get all worked up about New Years Eve. But tonight is the night youre supposed to be having fun and kissing the one you love! And Im not doing anything fun. Cut it out! You put so much pressure on yourselves to live up to some mythical expectation that everyone else is having so much fun tonight. And yet youre going to be home. And you feel like youre missing out on something. Its Wednesday night. Thats it. Wednesday. Just like every other Wednesday. Tomorrow is going to be Thursday. You have a choice to make. You can focus on what youre not doing and kvetch all day and night in your mind about it. You can throw a pity party (and theres nothing wrong with that occasionally, but not again tonight!!) and feel sorry for yourself. Or you can go on the offensive and say inside, Im a content, happy person. I am going to enjoy my night just like I do other nights. Im going to go out today and do something kind for someone, buy a random person groceries, visit a nursing home, volunteer to feed the homeless tonight. Im going to cook a special meal and watch an old movie that I love or read a book Ive been wishing I had time for. For those whose faith is important, use this as time to draw closer to God so He can fill that part of you. That lasts forever, not just one night. Or get off your butt, go downtown and walk amidst the revelers. Join in a party, invite yourself to a party, take a chance. Instead of hoping someone invites you out, why not take a risk and invite people to your house. Or invite yourself to a neighbors party! Today is a day like any other day. Tonight is a night like any other night. Tomorrow is a day like any other day. Are you content inside as a person on other nights? Something to ponder...
