26 Days to Christmas

26 Days to Christmas…

And lights and trees are going up every where you turn. Christmas Carols are playings. Lifetime and Hallmark are filled with Christmas movies! It is a time to be around folks you love and care about and something about this time is just so magical! Today, I even got to ride in a horse-drawn carriage!

….it is honestly my favorite time of the year!!!

Resilience & the Holiday Season

Today while at work I attended a webinar where we talk about resilience and what attributes to people having a high resilience. In the webinar we learned that it is not really a trait of a person that is just in them but kind of a nurtured element in that resilience is something that a person grows in with various situations they have encountered and the support networks they have around them.

During this time of the year, I believe it allows for reflection and moments of gratitude for the people that support you through adverse times as well the obstacles you’ve overcome to get to this day and time.

For me there are quite a few people from family to friends from church, work, and life that have been very key in nurturing the resilience within me and of course my faith.

I hope as we get closer and closer to Christmas that you are able to stop for a moment and think of all that you’ve overcome and those that have been there with you along the way. Please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Until next time,
