If you are new to my blog and would like to know why I started Motivational Mondays, please go HERE.
I developed the thought for this post a couple of weeks
ago. I never realized how relevant it
would become in the wake of the terrible, senseless shooting of innocent
children and adults that occurred in Connecticut
just a few short days ago…
While this may be a season of joy for many of us as we
prepare for and commemorate Hanukah, Christmas, St. Lucia Day, Kwanza and other
winter celebrations, there are some who find this time of year extremely
difficult. For anyone who has lost a
loved one, for anyone who is dealing with depression, for anyone who is
separated from family for one reason or another, for anyone who is lost or alone,
the holiday season can be very difficult to get through. Even people who are in a good place in their
lives can find the holidays difficult due to the enormous stress that they
manage to heap on themselves to ensure that this time of year is special for
everyone around them.
However, the wonderful thing about the internet is that you
are never truly alone. If you are
reading this then you are connected to me and I to you. Support is just a keyboard click away. If you are one of those individuals finding
this time of the season difficult please reach out to family, friends or
community resources. You don’t need to
deal with your anxieties by yourself.
Know that you are not alone.
