“Life belongs to the living and he who lives must be prepared for changes.”  ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

When my wife was a child, she and her family would go caroling in the neighborhood and to the nursing home. It brought smiles to many people who were often sad and alone during the holidays. Nursing homes are full of people in the twilight years with various health and personal struggles. Taking an hour to bring joy to other human beings costs nothing but brings a little relief and joy to those struggling. 

We all have opportunities to bring short periods of relief and joy to our fellow man. Be willing to change and try something different. Whether caroling or something else, try something new this holiday season and bring a few moments of joy to others.

“Motivation will almost always beat mere talent.”  ~ Norman Ralph Augustine
