happy winter solstice!

yay! each and every day will begin to get longer and brighter from this day forward. today is the darkest, shortest day of the year. take a moment to reflect on today's milestone. we're in the midst of holiday hurrah and life is frenetic. slow down for a moment, light a candle, slip into a hot bath, pull out your journal, and express gratitude for what this year has given you.

*****************
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, People may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, People may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, They may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway.

~Mother Teresa
