Remember Not All Have Much To Give
Hello wonderful WA family. I see the great Holiday greetings blogs, that as expected are coming in. I am so grateful to be here to experience that joy.
I was at work going to all my different accounts in retail for the annual Christmas rush, seeing and hearing some kind and unkind words being sprayed about the stores. In line waiting mostly.
With many are happy to be out shopping and many are not so happy.
Witnessing all of these today, it was more so of the obviously angry and stressed-out folks. I asked myself what's wrong with these people? Where's the Holiday Spirit? Can't you for a couple of days at least, try? Then it hit me.
Could it be just the holiday stressors of being without? Is there a loved one in hospice? ( my next-door neighbor's husband is, and likely not here for very long).
Did they just get fired? Or laid off? Kid in the hospital? Lost pet? Was the car stolen with gifts in the car? Are the streets their home and world?
These are common in the city I work. I see it every day. It is truly heartbreaking to see.
Most homeless are there for whatever reason and some choose to be. I will not judge. However, it's cold and a lot of rain is coming our way.
So if you are out and about in the last hours leading up to a beautiful time for most, but not everyone. Remember to smile, be patient, tolerant, kind, helpful, compassionate, and understanding or any act of kindness will do.
It will be appreciated so much more, than not.
Happy Happy Happy Holidays everyone. Here's to a new year of bountiful abundance in our lives and our businesses. I sense 2023 will be awesome for everyone!
If you're driving like me, be careful and patient. The weather is a booger bear right now into Christmas day. With more to follow.

Hi, David
We all need to be grateful for the most important things in life, like good health, family, and friends.
We should all reach out to help the less fortunate in whatever way we can, especially those without adequate food and shelter.
Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅🎁

Not everyone thinks like this, but this year with a family member close to me in a comma. I still put a smile on my face and say happy holidays with a smile.
There are many reasons someone could not be in holiday spirits, some are rude and wants everyone to feel miserable no matter what.
Happy Holidays to you
