Partiipate

This being Christmas Eve some of you might have a bit of the blahs instead of anticipation of good things to come.  Maybe you are feeling a bit alone? Separate? Even unique and different from all those celebrating people?  There is a way to get a bit more upbeat, less lonely, less judgmental of others.  Participate as in being of service.  Do some good things for others.  I know addicts, who are desperately trying not to ingest their addictive stuff on this day.  They participate, even help out, in some group event or just help one other person in selfless ways.  It seems to work for them.  So maybe it can work for everyone who is a bit out of sorts on this day, evening.  Oh, and God loves you, even if you don't believe in one.
