Be Merry

Be Merry
Proverbs 17:22 -"A merry heart does good, like medicine,But a broken spirit dries the bones."

    Time is speeding by; the days are rolling into each other and it seems we can't complete one task before three more are added to the list. The hustle and flow that permeates the atmosphere awakes our senses that soon the celebration of Jesus' birth will be upon us. Enjoy each day to the fullest; don't worry if you haven't completed every thing on your to-do list or had the chance to put every ornament on the tree. Relax if all the special ingredients for grandma's fruitcake haven't fermented yet or the things you shopped for online have not arrived.  Do not let the little issues of preparation spoil the real reason for the season. Focus on making fun memories not perfect events. Enjoy your company even if they make you crazy. Make those special visits even if auntie's house smells like mothballs.and your cousins are always snooping through your suitcase and wearing your clothes. Now is the time to truly focus on family, friends and relationships.  Relax and enjoy the gift of love that surrounds you... even if it comes in the form of a snoring uncle who sleeps at the dinner table.  Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a GREAT day. Be blessed!  Dr. JoAnn
