yourself. Purpose is your reason for context, and results are what will come of this. This is a time to think about where you are heading and perhaps about the positive changes you wish to see in your life. We must be grateful for what we have, especially health, family


and career. Holiday time-off from work allows us to step back and take in all the beauty in our lives. This is a good time to share, listen and assist. So, you see, traditions are what we make them and are so much more than a meal and treats. Take a different path this holiday season, the one less travelled. Try to find inner peace and purpose in your life. Resist the media temptations and commercialization that surround us. Brainstorm with your family to find new creative ways in which to celebrate this holiday season. Perhaps with more physical activity and less junk food, with more grazing and less bingeing, with less televi- sion and more music for the soul, you can make this year’s celebration of holiday traditions your friend instead of your foe. Practice modera- tion and balance; remove anxiety, fear and unrealistic expectations. Are holiday traditions your friend or foe? I say they’re a new friend that is just waiting to be called upon. Enjoy.
