Change your mindset, change your actions, change your situation. This holiday season instead of finding reasons to not be with family and friends for the option to be alone and depressed, look for reasons to make a change by being around family and friends for the option of being around someone that makes you smile. Don't let the one person that is not your favorite keep you from hearing a I love you, a joke, or from getting a hug from twenty people that care for you and want to be there for you in your times of need. Your family and friends are part of your God given support system and if you choose to stay away from opportunities to work on and strengthen your support system, then your choice may limit possible support in your times of need. Don't miss out on your blessings that comes from maintaining a relationship with your support systems (God, family and friends)
