1. No matter how bad your problems are, somebody else's problems are probably worse - and you can actually help them, just by listening

2. Christmas spirit is more about giving yourself to others, and when we do this, it's only then that we can fully capture what it means (and reap it's blessings).

Good luck!

very good post!!
I often remind myself that the local cemetery is full of folks that would trade their problem for mine.
