Hello & Welcome to the Quote of the Week!  The holidays and the new year can be stressful and overwhelming for some. Perhaps this double-recycled quote/question by Debbie Ford will inspire you to face the holidays and the new year with confidence and optimism.

__________

"If you were going to make this the best holiday season ever, how would you do it?  

It won't happen for most people, because most people won't have that as their #1 intention.  

And it's unlikely that you'll have the life-changing holidays that you could have 

if you don't create a powerful intent."  Debbie Ford

“The most wonderful time of the year is also the most stressful time of the year.

But don’t let that stop you from enjoying the magic and the joy of the season. 

Remember to breathe, relax, and be grateful for what you have.”

Robert Ignatius

In the U.S., Thursday marks Thanksgiving, our annual holiday focused on thankfulness and gratitude for life's blessings, big and small. In this season of giving thanks, Melody Beattie's words serve as a poignant reminder of the profound impact gratitude can have on our lives.  

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. 

It turns what we have into enough, and more.

It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. 

It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend." 

Melody Beattie

 In a world that can often feel cold and uncaring, could simple acts of kindness have an impact greater than we imagine?  This question highlights the core message of this week's quote - that kindness is never wasted, no matter how small the gesture.   

"No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted." 

Aesop

 Welcome to the Quote of the Week! . Your presence, exactly as is at this very moment, is greatly appreciated! 

Ever found yourself pondering the paradox of life—where looking back grants understanding, yet living lies in forging ahead?  (I've been doing that a lot lately!)  Kierkegaard had a thought or two on that.

“Life can only be understood backward, 

but it must be lived forwards.”
