Here we are in the season

where we wish each other ‘good cheer.’

But why keep it bottled up?

Why not wish it every day of the year?

Something we all know too well is

problems come as problems do.

May you meet them with grace, hope, love, and strength

all of which are already inside you.

As you reflect on this past year,

I hope you find good to be thankful for,

feel healing from the heart ache,

and will rise up and go some more.

Move on from what needs let go,

hold on to what needs held on.

May you see the difference between the two

which is really the difficult part all along.

Resolve to do and be better

but don’t change your essence itself.

There is always room for improvement

just be sure to accept your core self.

All of this is what I mean

when I wish you ‘good cheer’

Not just for today only

but every single day of the year.
