A time to give thanks.
A time to reflect on what is right and what is wrong.
A time to make peace with myself and those around me.
A time to trust in good intentions.
A time to lift myself up and then help to lift up those around me.
I need to believe that most people will do the right thing.
I need to trust in my instincts, and then stop to think with my heart and mind.
I need to filter out the negative. I need to see and appreciate the positive.
I cannot deny the darkness, though I can stop it from taking center stage in my life.
I need to see the light, so that I can move forward with hope and purpose.
