This is probably the worst time of the year to have to deal with anything that's not going quite right in your life. With all of the (fake) happiness and people dancing around at Christmas time, it's a real wonder that more people don't go off the deep end.

But for any and all who are feeling stressed, take a second to breathe deeply. And though it may sound like a cliche, do remember that there are many who wish they had the problems you have instead of the ones they have.

Anyway, what's on my mind is that I hope to have one more day that I can make better than today was. Today wasn't horrible, but I think we can improve on it with some effort.
