Remembering the holidays for what they are ... a time for reflection ... a time for family ... a time to be together and united towards a common goal ...peace and goodwill. You can make that happen whether you are employed or unemployed. Being thankful and remembering your family and friends can be the best way to honor the holidays. Have a safe one!
If you look at life as a tent, do you know the importance of tent poles? When putting up the tent, the tent poles are hard to deal with, they are cumbersome and yet without them, there is no tent. The tent poles are there for support. They are the backbone of the tent. They are the foundation of the cover against the storm while camping. Tent poles are in your every day life as well. They are there propping you up when times are tough. Do you know who and what your tent poles are?
