I'm very happy when I'm given the opportunity to bring joy to people. It brings me much joy in return. Therefore it is with joyous pleasure that I present the first message of this Advent Calendar that I've filled with inspirational quotes, stories and poems:
Advent Calendar Dec 1, 2018
Through Me
Through me let there be kind words, a warm smile, and a caring heart.
Through me let there be a willingness to listen and a readiness to understand.
Through me let there be dependability, steadfastness, trust and loyalty.
Through me let there be compassion, forgiveness, mercy and love.
Through me let there be every quality I find, O Lord, in Thee.

Advent Calendar Dec 2, 2018
Eight Gifts that Do Not Cost A Cent
"#1: THE GIFT OF LISTENING… But you must REALLY listen. No interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your response. Just listening.
#2: THE GIFT OF AFFECTION… Be generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back, and handholds. Let these small actions demonstrate the love you have for family and friends.
#3: THE GIFT OF LAUGHTER… Clip cartoons. Share articles and funny stories. Your gift will say, “I love to laugh with you.”
#4: THE GIFT OF A WRITTEN NOTE… It can be a simple “Thanks for the help” note or a full sonnet. A brief, handwritten note may be remembered for a lifetime, and may even change a life.
#5: THE GIFT OF A COMPLIMENT… A simple and sincere, You look great in red,” “You did a super job,” or “That was a wonderful meal” can make someone’s day.
#6: THE GIFT OF A FAVOR… Every day, go out of your way to do something kind.
#7: THE GIFT OF SOLITUDE… There are times when we want nothing better than to be left alone. Be sensitive to those times and give the gift of solitude to others.
#8: THE GIFT OF A CHEERFUL DISPOSITION… The easiest way to feel good is to extend a kind word to someone. Really, it’s not that hard to say, Hello or Thank You." – Katherine Quinn
“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present.” - Bill Keane
Today, many will awaken with a fresh sense of inspiration. Why not you? Today, many will open their eyes to the beauty that surrounds them. Why not you? Today, many will choose to leave the ghost of yesterday behind and seize the immeasurable power of today. Why not you? Today, many will break through the barriers of the past by looking at the blessings of the present. Why not you? Today, for many, the burden of self doubt and insecurity will be lifted by the security and confidence of empowerment. Why not you? Today, many will rise above their believed limitations and make contact with their powerful innate strength. Why not you? Today, many will choose to live in such a manner that they will be a positive role model for their children. Why not you? Today, many will choose to free themselves from the personal imprisonment of their bad habits. Why not you? Today, many will choose to live free of conditions and rules governing their own happiness. Why not you? Today, many will find abundance in simplicity. Why not you? Today, many will be confronted by difficult moral choices and they will choose to do what is right instead of what is beneficial. Why not you? Today, many will decide to no longer sit back with a victim mentality, but to take charge of their lives and make positive changes. Why not you? Today, many will take the action necessary to make a difference. Why not you? Today, many will make the commitment to be a better mother, father, son, daughter, student, teacher, worker, boss, brother, sister, & so much more. Why not you? Today is a new day! Many will seize this day. Many will live it to the fullest. Why not you? - Steve Maraboli

“Don't Just
Don't just learn, experience. Don't just read, absorb. Don't just change, transform. Don't just relate, advocate. Don't just promise, prove. Don't just criticize, encourage. Don't just think, ponder. Don't just take, give. Don't just see, feel. Don’t just dream, do. Don't just hear, listen. Don't just talk, act. Don't just tell, show. Don't just exist, live.” ― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
Believe in yourself and in your dream Though impossible things may seem Someday, somehow you'll get through To the goal you have in view
Mountains fall and seas divide Before the one who in his stride Takes a hard road day by day Sweeping obstacles away
Believe in yourself and in your plan Say not - I cannot - but, I can The prizes of life we fail to win Because we doubt the power within
- Author Unknown
I believe that God has put gifts and talents and ability on the inside of every one of us. When you develop that and you believe in yourself and you believe that you're a person of influence and a person of purpose, I believe you can rise up out of any situation. - Joel Osteen

“Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report written on birds that he'd had three months to write, which was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books about birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him put his arm around my brother's shoulder, and said, "Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.” - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life
“Anyone can fight the battles of just one day. It is only when you and I add the battles of those two awful eternities, yesterday and tomorrow, that we break down. It is not the experience of today that drives us mad. It is the remorse or bitterness for something that happened yesterday or the dread of what tomorrow may bring. Let us therefore do our best to live but one day at a time.” - Richard Walker, Twenty-Four Hours a Day
"Live one day at a time and make it a masterpiece." - Dale West
“Quit worrying about how everything is going to turn out. Live one day at a time; better yet, make the most of this moment." - Joel Osteen
A goal ahead, a hope, a plan Always thinking that you can, A lot of work, a lot of prayer And help from God will get you there. - B. Killebrew
“Do not sit still; start moving now. In the beginning, you may not go in the direction you want, but as long as you are moving, you are creating alternatives and possibilities.” ― Rodolfo Costa, Advice My Parents Gave Me: and Other Lessons I Learned from My Mistakes

Advent Calendar Dec 8, 2018
“If you always attach positive emotions to the things you want, and never attach negative emotions to the things you don't, then that which you desire most will invariably come your way.” - Matt D. Miller
“Don't you long for something different to happen, something so exciting and new it carries you along with it like a great tide, something that lets your life blaze and burn so the whole world can see it?” - Juliet Marillier, Son of the Shadows
“Your life should consist of more than commuting, working, eating, surfing the Internet, sleeping and watching TV. Your life should be filled with purpose-driven experiences and projects that bring excitement, passion, energy, and authentic meaning and joy into your life.” - Richie Norton, The Power of Starting Something Stupid: How to Crush Fear, Make Dreams Happen, and Live without Regret
“Lay out your options, dismiss the ones that are of zero appeal, and focus on those that not only excite you, but make sense to you.” - Lauren Lola, An Absolute Mind
I Wish You
When you are lonely I wish you love When you are down I wish you joy When you are troubled I wish you peace When things are complicated I wish you simple beauty When things look empty I wish you hope - Author unknown
“If we are not allowed to deal with small problems, we will be destroyed by slightly larger ones. When we come to understand this, we live our lives not avoiding problems, but welcoming them them as challenges that will strengthen us so that we can be victorious in the future.” - Jim Stovall, The Ultimate Gift
Stand Firm
If you quit today you will never win Don't be discouraged try again Don't let your obstacles bring you down Stand firm, persist and hold your ground.
Perseverance is the key, it's true Don't give up whatever you do Believe in yourself you will not fail You will find your dreams soon set sail.
Have confidence and you will see Be the best you can be Your attitude, is your state of mind Being positive makes life so much more kind. - Catherine Pulsifer
