November 21
There are plenty of things I can do to get the holiday spirit beside cook and eat. When I was growing up, perhaps because we belonged to an active church community, we did all kinds of Christmas things that didn’t involve food. We caroled, made decorations, did something like Coats for Kids.
Like everything else, the more I invest myself, the more I inspire myself. I often think that the privileged few who have someone else cook for them or workout with them all the time actually give up something in the way of the motivation they would have generated for themselves if they had had to invest themselves more.
