How to Make New Traditions for 2020!

So our world is changing again!  It seems that every time we turn around there is a new mandate, and something else for us to get used to.  Right now we are only supposed to be around only those in our immediate household.

And it’s the holiday’s!!

Well, we can’t change what is going on outside of ourselves, and in our community, but we do have the power to control how we react. 

I choose to show kindness to others right now!!

There have been times I could have been crabby or angry at others for what was happening, and the truth is they might be feeling the same way too.  I only know how I am feeling and what is happening in my life, I can only imagine what others are going through.  

I only know my story!

My story is finding ways to make this an exciting adventure, even though the change is a lot to get used to.  I can lead by example on how to grow into these changes.  

I am enough!  

I shine my light through the darkness!

We created a new tradition for the Thanksgiving holiday.  We stayed pretty similar to our previous tradition, there were just a few pivots.  Instead of going to the movie theater for the newest blockbuster, we stayed home and had a movie day in the living room.

We watched family favorites to lighten our mood. We made the movies come to use, and had junk food from home.  Well, it was more of a light lunch than snack foods.  No popcorn or candy this time.  Instead, we snacked on a variety of meats, cheeses and crackers.  

It turned into a fantastic memory that we will all fondly look back on. 

It was a time of togetherness and laughter.  I will remember the smiles and that is what I choose to look back on when we remember the year of 2020.

This may be the new tradition for Thanksgiving.  We can be cozy at home and be a bit healthier, too.  Oh and the best part is we can talk during the movie if we want to!  It is family etiquette that dictates how you watch!
