Lord, grant that I might not so much
seek to be loved as to love.
- St. Francis of Assisi
Spending the holidays without family can feel depressing.
If you are not with your family this holiday,
take positive steps to feel good about yourself:
affirm your self worth,
spend time with your religious (or community) group,
and extend yourself to be of service to the less fortunate.
Is there someone who will be alone this Christmas unless you share your holiday with them?
Invite them to spend the day with you.
Constant kindness can accomplish much.
As the sun makes ice melt,
kindness causes misunderstanding,
mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.
- Albert Schweitzer
Deal with the faults of others as gently as with your own.
- Chinese proverb
We may have found a cure for most evils;
but we have found no remedy for the worst of them all,
the apathy of human beings.
- Helen Keller
