One guaranteed way to develop a different perspective on the Holidays: Spend them with people who are really very much in need, or services that are trying to do some good in the world.

Volunteer at a food bank or a soup kitchen, or even an animal shelter.

Look up ways to help in your own Community. There are always volunteer positions that need filling.

I wish I had the physical strength, the energy, the drive, and the time to do some of these things. I feel the need in my deepest heart.

Sent with all respect, no matter how one feels about the Holidays.
