Sometimes we need a reminder... A reminder that the hollidays are not because of the cute Santa photo like above, but because of the spirit they bring. We need reminders from time to time. I had a co-worker that used to tie string around his fingers for reminders. One day i asked him if he remembered to turn in a paper. He looked at me then down at his right hand. He had multiple strings tied to every finger. While this is funny, it also serves as "the other side of the coin" as it comes to reminders. You can set up reminder bells on your cell phone and a multitude of alarms on your watch. But if you never look at the phone to see why it is dinging annoyingly you will not remember why you set it in the first place.
Do you remember the feeling when you have been late on an assignment in school or forgotten all about it until the day it is due and realize you never even started? Your core temperature immediately goes up and you begin to sweat. You begin to realize what anxiety is.
The Holliday's are suppose to be a time when we don't have to struggle with anxiety and being overwhelmed. But then, you get sucked into the Black Thursday histeria of shopping for Christmas gifts at the day after thanksgiving deals and wading your way through the waves of crouded shopping malls and stores.
Lets put the "spirit" of the Holliday's back wehre it belongs.
Blessings,
Mike III AKA: Big Daddy
