Happy Holidays and choose to be happy.

My wish is for you to have a Happy Monday.

I would also like to wish a Merry Christmas to all Christians and all those who will celebrate  Christmas later this week.

I am aware that there are other holidays both religious and non-religious that are celebrated at this time of the year and my desire is for all to embrace to the fullest the holidays that you celebrate, so I wish for all Happy Holidays.

There are also persons who will look on all the holidays being celebrated and remain sad and cynical while others embrace the spirit of the moment and enjoy to the max the holiday spirit. However, there is an ever present danger of remaining sad and refusing to grasp the opportunity to be glad because of not believing. I do not wish to convince anyone to believe but to encourage that all the celebration do not go to waste. The idea is not to be an hypocrite but since it is a time of celebration then embrace a personal milestone or event to celebrate also. Why be sad when you can be glad.

The reality is that life is short and whether we are sad or happy our life will soon come to an end. The choices we have is to be sad or go out singing. I choose to be happy. The many celebrations that take place at this time of the year either came out of significant events or a great hoax was perpetuated in the past. Whether fact or fiction the reality is the present joy and the hope the holidays bring.

Celebrations are good because they mark significant milestones. Milestones provide reminders of past success and provide inspiration to continue pressing forward to greater achievements.Life is filled with challenges but challenges can be either a burden that bear us down or the catalyst designed to bring out the best in us.

I am reminded of the many times in the past when my problems overwhelmed me and the only solution I saw was to end my life. These problems have left their scars and I can't recall what the problems were but the problems are no more and I am still here. Problems will come and problems will go so I choose to be happy because I do not see a time while I am alive when I will be problem free.

This is part of the reason why I seek to write fun stories and encourage people to laugh, have fun and celebrate life.

Happy Holidays and choose to be happy.
