A holiday from change?

Would you agree that at least the holidays are a place where we should not worry about change?

Dear Ho-Ho-Ho

Wishful thinking!  I assume you aren’t talking about the spare change to drop in the charity bucket or the need to rethink using tinsel once the cat shows you a sparkly tail?

Ho Ho Ho, you’re in the wrong career and century! Change will happen; it’s the scale of change that may fluctuate. You probably won’t get a brand new assignment or see projects go “red” over the last two weeks of December. You will change your socks, cut back on your working hours, and make some extra phone calls to family.  Change is “relative” – especially over the holidays…

Take some joy in unexpected pleasures between now and New Year’s.  Re-evaluate routines to bring into 2016. Add some extra quiet time; take away some stress. Help others to do some of the same. Sometimes change is simply a different routine for a little while.

Best until 2016
