Aaah the season of goodwill is upon us once again. But I have to ask this; “Why can’t we have year round goodwill?” I have noticed though that things have got better…..and worse. Does that make sense? Well it does to me and let me tell you why. Generally people are more polite and patient, I’ve been aware of this over the last two or three years. It seems that more of us are getting the hang of the idea that what we do or say to others affects us – which is great. However, whilst the good is getting better, the bad is getting worse. We read of terrorist acts too horrendous to recount. We see innocents being shot by gunmen that have come to the end of their tether or that have been marginalised by society due to their mental/emotional illnesses.
Take heart, yes, the scales are presently swinging wildly from one end of the spectrum to the other but like most things they will find their balance and settle down. Just know that nothing ever stays the same, there is always change and I truly believe we are moving towards a change for the better.
Judy Garland sang “Have yourself a merry little Christmas, let your heart be light”….. I would add “stay light and positive for 2016”
God Bless
