As the holiday season approaches it is important to remember that not everyone is looking forward to it. There are people who have lost loved ones, people who don’t have family so are alone, people struggling to make ends meet, oh so many stressed in so many ways.
This is an important time to reach out to those in your circle that need an act of kindness.
It only takes a bit of time to think of who they might be. If you are not sure think about someone who may has stopped contacting you. Take a few minutes and think about who may have been the life of the party last year but, in fact, you haven’t heard a word from them lately. Think about the person you work with that has been acting agitated or troubled. Just take the time to think about those around you that may not be your family, or even friend, maybe just someone you met – do you see them now?
What can you do to brighten their lives, help them a bit through the holidays. Well in fact it doesn’t take much. Making a phone call might make the world of difference to them. Or sending them a card. You actually don’t have to do much, a small step can make a big difference.
