The holiday season is a time of reflection and certainly the past year has given all of us plenty to think about. Last week, AIR Marketing held our annual holiday party, which included dishes prepared by each of our team members, our secret Santa was revealed and each of us gets a letter and a token from Kris Kringle himself! We talked about 2008 and how it has impacted our company, and while there have been challenging times, we all felt very joyous and lucky. And, we are all very much looking forward to 2009!
It’s been a challenging year to say the least and with all of the doom and gloom in the news, sometimes it can be hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Many people around the country have had to experience great hardships, and they seem to snowball at an avalanche’s pace.
That’s why its encouraging to know that the one thing we can never lose is our spirit. Deep down, in each and every one of us is an undying hope and optimism for the future. It is vital, particularly during these troubling times, that we reach down and bring that hopefulness to the surface.
I was so excited earlier this year when my personal mantra was proven scientifically true. Happiness is contagious! Yes, yes it is! So this holiday season, while you’re spreading good tidings and cheer, just remember that the joy you feel is catching. Spread it around with reckless abandon! And let’s not look at this past year and the upcoming one with fear or apprehension, but instead with enthusiasm and optimism. Then, share your glee with someone, they’ll share it with someone and on and on until everyone catches the spirit.
Happy Holidays to you and yours, and best wishes for a safe and prosperous New Year.
