Ready or not, here they come!!!

The dreaded Holiday Season!!!

How is this year's Thanksgiving going to be different from last year?

How are you planning to do whatever necessary to stay clean and sober?

What are you most not looking forward to?

Is there anything you need to avoid (other than drinking/drugging)?

What can you do to make someone else's day better? It really isn't all about you, after all.

Oh, you can crawl under the covers, and wait until it's safe to come out on Friday, November 23rd. Or, you can start right now to work on having a positive attitude and determining to make the Holiday as pleasant as possible for yourself and those around you. Like it or not, there will be another Thanksgiving next year, and the year after that, etc...so, you might just as well "suck it up" now and get used to it.

Seriously, friends...it needn't be an ordeal. It can be as good or as bad as you, yourself, make it. You do have "The Power to change the things I can." Share with us your thoughts on Thanksgiving 2007.
