“Take time today to enjoy the things you normally hurry past. Let go of your worries and frustrations, your expectations and pretenses, and enjoy the moment that you’re living.

Free your happiness from any conditions or limitations you may have put on it. Experience the depth and beauty of the happiness that fills you when you allow it.

Look beyond the little things that normally annoy you. Feel how good it can be to stop fighting against what doesn’t really matter anyway.

Though this day is not perfect, the experience of it can be perfectly beautiful. Count your many blessings, and you’ll see that they far outweigh any obstacles you face.

Release the stressful thoughts from your mind and feel them melt away. This day is yours to live with peaceful purpose.

– Ralph Marston

Each Christmas, now, I am reminded of a story that happened to me a few years back. Some of you may have read it before and I won’t force you to again, but I encourage all to take a few moments to read about how amazing life can be and how the littlest things can make a world of difference to people.
