Wooooooosah!!!
I've been waiting for these few days off for a couple of weeks now. But in my life there is no such thing as: Time off. But, so far, so good. I've rested, laughed, ate, and drank. In fact, I've been in such a good place that I even provided a naked praise dance for my friends this week. I completed a few much needed tasks today, still some to do; but I'm satisfied with my deeds. But next year, I'll be traveling so that I can truly enjoy my time without being pushed and pulled into a million directions. (At least that's what I am saying now.)
As I was at the nail shop this morning I watched the news discussing "Black Friday". So, I want to share some advice, nuggets (not chicken), thoughts with some of my friends and family since we're knee deep in the holiday season. Do what you will with them. Hey, what do I know?
1. The holidays are NOT about you. Root word is-holy = holy days. Be thankful and walk the walk.
2. DON'T go in to debt trying to buy gifts for people. If you taught your kids what holy-days are actually about then they will understand that you didn't get them the Xbox 876.z
3. There is NOTHING wrong with taking care of you first this season. (as in take care of your needs first)
4. Remember, January will be back and you'll be making those same financial goals again which you might have met had you not pepper sprayed someone in the line of Walmart buying stuff this morning. LOL
Now that I've shared that, I'm going to do some classwork and reflect on some of my own advice.
Ha Ha, I just had this same chat with my sister this morning. We gotta get it together. Her house looks like a winter wonderland, but her car kills dead every few blocks. lol
ReplyDeletePriorities are definitely important... Some people can choose to buy the best of the best but... Notice I said but you need to make sure what you already have is in tact. I'm not going to drive a BMW and can't afford to pay for a bug.. It's important to stay a float in your rem!
ReplyDeleteWait....when you said "rem" does thou mean realm????? el oh el
ReplyDeleteGood Job Sister......I agree...Priorities is a must and Christmas is ALL about the "world" decision of celebrating the Birth of Jesus Christ and we will continue to acknowledge it but, ALWAYS REMEMBER the true meaning!!! (WINK..WINK)...
