Here we are another year almost over and this is the time that most people think about what has come and gone and what they did or did not do, or what they want for the future. Why is it only at this time of the year that all this has to come up, it is a lot to ponder over in such and short period of time and expect for all of the changes you want to make happen. But it does seem like most of us are wired to do things at the last minute, but then expect immediate results. As you wonder through the world wide web you can probably come up with experts and gurus that will tell you to plan, write it down, or other visual cues, after so many years we all already know the answer to our dilemma, but again we wait until the last minute to do somethings.

So is it your holiday tradition to make such resolutions, or rush to volunteer somewhere to full fill your “good deed” for the year. Again these events don’t save them selfs for a certain time of year, ask any of the organizations that are there to help those that need it.

We are a religiously blended family and with birthday’s at the end of the year, my kids can get most of what they “want” not necessarily what they need. I was proud of my 12 daughter that she said that she did not want her friends to bring her gifts, just hanging out with those she does not always get to visit with was what she wanted most. So over the course of a Sunday she had three friends come over to spend time with her. The kids get one present for there birthday, one for Hanukah, and one for Christmas we do not do stockings. You might think that they are missing out, but keep in mind there are grandma’s that contribute to these events as well. And if you saw there room or the basement there are toys and games that been forgotten.

So keep in mind what your traditions are and why you are doing them, and even when.

Have a healthy year!
