Make your own holiday traditions...

Dear Friends,

If these are hard days for you, do something different. Call and invite yourself to Christmas Dinner. Many times, when we are alone, others don't realize that we are alone. Let others know. Tell them the holidays are a difficult time for you.

Do something different. Make plans for the especially hard times. Go to church, if you never go to church. Plan to go to a movie. Go for a walk. Take yourself out to dinner.

Volunteer at a shelter or a community meal. Do something for someone else. Invite someone else who is alone over to your place for dinner.

Make time and space for your loneliness and grief. Ask your loneliness and grief what they want from you during this time.

Make your own holidays.
Warmly,
