Holidays & Celebrations: What helps to stay positive?

I do not have room to entertain so I do goody bags for the places where I shop the most. It is rewarding to see how these hard-working folks are surprised. I also play secret elf and it is so much fun!!! I bake and put music on. Remaining positive is so very important for any of us with depression and chronic pain. I cannot always get the things completed I would like to and this is okay. I do have my ups and downs altho I am not bipolar. Dark and negative thoughts worsen physical and emotional pain. Baking and doing art for others as I can keeps me moving more. By afternoon I go caput. Yup, it is afternoon. Do hope those here are doing the best they know how.

Love also the Elf concept...I am experienced in receiving that in the last month. Still am not aware of who or how gave me a scheduled tour of the White House from the date of my birthday until the date of my husband's death 3 years ago. And, they want to know the name of the guest I am bringing? Like to thank them and this invitation came to me on a down afternoon? Love it, and don't know who? Also, I make scarves, shawls for people. This year I am late, not finished. Got to give up the GUILT and get all done by New Year's! Always a good idea to get rid of guilt...doesn't get scarves done, delays them. Thanks, giving is filled with so much Joy and we need to be able to received also.
