Try out my Affirmative, Declarative statement about the coming weeks:
Our Holiday Season 2012 will be marked (and remembered) by peals of liberating laughter; jubilant joy; feel-so-good health; demonstrated appreciation of friendship; family fun; and an ever-increasing abundance of all things we consider GOOD.
Let’s prophesy a Happy Season ahead. I challenge you!
