Today is Make a Difference Day How can one person make a difference? With a little bit of indifference. We are entering the season of Holidays in which many peoples are vocal about their faith or lack there of. Why not take a step toward peace by NOT caring about whether or not someone else celebrates the same things you do. It should not.

There is no reason to be offended by someone putting up decorations to celebrate something I do not. Instead be happy to know that someone has a belief that makes them feel grounded and gives them guidance in their life. So I challenge everyone who reads this to join me in wishing a Happy _________________ and wish continued happiness in what ever you are celebrating. I thank you for sharing my joys. Here are the Holidays I know of, If you celebrate them, may you have the best celebration. If you do not, PLEASE, do not hinder those who are celebrating. Be Happy.
