JUST ONE MORE ... thing learned from Charlie Brown (December 2017)
JUST ONE MORE ... thing learned from Charlie Brown.
Somehow, it's already December 1 ... and although there have been signs of the holidays for awhile, what with some stores putting merchandise out on or before Labor Day, it all ramps up from here -- full speed ahead and you WILL be bombarded with inescapable marketing and messaging in attempts to get you to spend more money than you have and to engage in more things that you have time to do.
What better antidote for all of that holiday hoopla than to stop and reflect on lessons we all should have learned the very first time we watched the Charlie Brown Christmas special. Seeing as how the mission of this "just one more" concept is to embrace incremental change in order to empower folks (or just me) to stay positive and solution-focused in a day and age where problems often seem insurmountable, control often seems out of reach and apathy often seems to be running rampant -- it seems like featuring just one more lesson each week from this Charles M Schulz' classic is on point.
So whether it's about dealing with depression or countering crass commercialism or remembering the real reason for the holiday or just singing to save your sanity ... there are plenty of opportunities to pause and reflect and recharge with just one more ... thing learned from Charlie Brown.
