There’s a lot of news about how the new year is going to change our lives. Most people can’t wait for it to arrive. But that’s not always the case. Sometimes we just need to shut our brains off for a little while and just be thankful that we have a new year to start on.
For me, this one is especially bittersweet because I just got back from the annual “Holidays Without a Name”. This is a holiday that is supposed to be about giving thanks to God for the opportunity to put away our worldly things. Not having a name for the holiday has actually been one of the highlights of this year, because I was able to put away a lot of stuff. I don’t know what I’m going to do with all those stuff though.
But there is one thing I know we can be thankful for, and that is that we have some time to ourselves to play board games with our friends and get to know new people. This is the first full year I’ve been able to do this, and I think it’s a good thing. Also, it’s the first holiday without my family members being in town. Hopefully, I can find a way to be back here by New Year’s Eve and enjoy the Holidays without a name.
We should take this as a sign that life is good. It really does seem like we have more time than we ever thought possible with all of the commitments we have.
As we all know, Thanksgiving is the busiest and most stressful holiday here in America, largely due to the fact that most of us are trying to get everything done before the holiday. (I mean, all year long.) It’s especially tough for busy families who have to make a big effort to get the groceries and do all of the other tasks that are necessary for the holiday.
Thanksgiving is a big holiday in our house. We’ve never really been able to give everyone the gift of a good meal without having to make it last several days, but we’ve learned to embrace the fact that we have more time. And that’s great. We’ve learned to make the best of it.
Weve also learned to embrace the fact that sometimes you have to work to get the things you want. In our case, weve learned to make the best use of our time. Weve learned to find the simplest, easiest, and most creative way to do things, rather than working for what you want.
If you ever find yourself in a situation where you have to work to get things you want, you can just say to yourself, “I don’t care. I’m getting what I want.” You don’t have to force yourself to go through a huge amount of work to get what you want. You don’t have to force yourself to sacrifice things you don’t want to give up to get what you want.
If we look at it this way, then there is no difference between making money and making your life easier. If you want to make money, make it pay you to do something that you love. If you want to make your life easier, do something other than work for it. You can always say, I dont care. Im happy doing what I want.
That’s what I’m talking about. If you want to make your life easier, do something other than work. You can always say, I dont care. Im happy doing what I want.
