"Re, Re, Re, Re"

spect...just a little bit. (Aretha Franklin)

One week left until Christmas.
The craziness is ramping up.
I know…
I’ve been talking to you on the phone.

One friend sounded frazzled,
Another down right pissed!
One had not even started her shopping yet,
Another can’t get over the sale she missed.

STOP IT.
STOP THE INSANITY.
Breathe.

Most of us want the same thing this Christmas.
A small, meaningful gift to and from the one we love,
And to secure that one favorite toy at the top of the kids list.
Add a few more goodies, that’s all they need.
And time.

Time spent with family and friends.
Not dressed to the nine’s so we’re sucking in our gut.
But comfy clothes, the kind that a belly-laugh won’t alter.

A positive spirit and respect; what a wonderful gift
to yourself and others.
Give it and you will receive it.

Relax, Replenish, Rejoice and Remember...
The real reason for the Season!!!
