FAMILY TRADITIONS AND LASTING MEMORIES

It’s true, Christmas can feel like a lot of work, particularly for mothers. But when you look back on all the Christmases in your life, you’ll find you’ve created family traditions and lasting memories. Those memories, good and bad, are really what help to keep a family together over the long haul.

Quote by Caroline Kennedy 

REFLECTION:

  • What traditions did you have growing up?  Do you continue any of them?
  • Have you created new traditions?
  • As we prepare for this holiday, is there a tradition you want to recreate or a new one you’d like to start? Go for it!
  • ENJOY this special time.

A CHOICE

Peace is a choice

Choosing peace takes practice.

FROM:  ABOUT PEACE by Scott Shaw

REFLECTION:

  • The Holidays can be so stressful.  You do have another choice.
  • Choose peace.. practice peace.
  • Practice makes perfect!

ONLY IN PEACE…

Only in peace do we have joy. Not by acquiring things. Not by doing things. Not by earning or learning. Not by reaching a position. But by dedication. Without peace there is no joy and without dedication there is no peace.

Quote by Swami Satchidananda

REFLECTION:

  • Have you ever wanted something… thinking that would be “the answer” only to have that replaced by another desire?
  • Have you been reaching for another rung on the ladder of success?
  • Do you want to: have more… do more – yet still not finding peace.
  • How can you embrace more peace and get more joy in your life?
