ON THE FIFTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS
Our true stress seems to be . . .
Facing the truth.
All truths are not created equal--
especially at Christmas.
Jolly red-and-white lies
can quickly influence our lives,
and determine how we think and act and feel.
We’re quick to identify
the countless lies that others tell.
But how often do we overlook
those right in front of our face?
Being honest with ourselves,
about things little or large,
is one of the most precious gifts
we could ever give ourselves.
Whatever we do or do not have—
Whatever we can or cannot afford—
Wherever we will or will not go—
So be it . . . that’s life.
Let’s tell ourselves the truth,
accept it,
Then live, laugh, and love.
In the end, Christmas will still be Christmas.
Peace I leave with you . . .
