TIP #6: "The most wonderful time of the year all year..."

TIP #6: "The most wonderful time of the year all year..."


It's the most wonderful time of the yeaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Come on sing along with me...Hearts will be glowing with cheeeeeeeeeeeeer....It's the most wonderful time of the yeeeeeeeeeeeear.

Why is it that for so many folks Christmas time is their favorite time of year? For me, this holds true because I get to spend time with my family and friends, share stories, eat too much, and just enjoy spending time with those that I love. What is better than that? Well, for me I also celebrate that I became a Christian on Christmas day 1995 also. Thus, securing my place in Heaven. :-) That's the most wonderful present of all.

Why is it that when January and February roll around that our attitudes tend to take a dip? I believe that it's because we are no longer focusing on what is excellent and worthy of our joyful views. By this time, we have broken many if not all of our New Year's resolutions and have been moving along for a few weeks without the Christmas focus and the excitement that leads up to it.

So, how do we keep a wonderful attitude all the year through? It starts with how we see things. Are we focusing on what keeps us laughing and loving? Or are we focused on what makes us depressed and sad? What are we doing to keep ourselves joyful?

I read the bible, pray, watch clips of things that make me laugh, talk to old and new friends, spend time with my wife and children laughing and loving each other. This keeps my attitude high most of the time. Please see my previous posts on the 4 L's for Living and the 5 ?'s to ask ourselves each day to bring your attitude back up.

If you have enjoyed this post or the others please post some feedback.
