Now more than ever!
By: Colleen Cook, BSCI
In todayâs uncertain times we each have an important choice to make. Will we look to the future with worry and concern or with hope and positive action? It is up to us. Here are a few thoughts that I would like to share. Please take them to heart and pass them along.
Be grateful for all that you have, and let everyone around you know it. Nothing provides a more positive outlook than someone who can truly see the good in any situation and be grateful for all that is right.
Recognize that old habits die hard. Throughout our lives, so many of us have relied upon the comfort of food to soothe and calm us. Be aware of old habits that may creep back into our lives and be prepared with better choices.
Do something! Take positive action towards our own goals; even the smallest of accomplishments will provide a feeling of control and keep us moving in the right direction.
Reach out & pay it forward. Call a friend, send an email, mail a note, share your story, post online, attend support meetings, volunteer.
May we choose to go throughout this holiday season with hope in our hearts, a smile on our faces, and a commitment to love and serve one another.
