With Christmas and 4 days of Hanukkah in the rear-view mirror, we now head into the New Year’s holiday: the challenge is to keep them appropriately blended in our minds. The revelry and hope embodied by next week’s celebration, along with most things in our everyday lives, should always be tempered by what we professed and felt during our religious holidays. We all have our own lives to live, complete with work, family and friends, and the obligations inherent in all of them. Work has, in most cases, a set of values we’re asked to live by; family is full of obligations and relationships that demand our attention and commitment; and friends (and friendships) are guided, optimally, by the Golden Rule. Most of us have all three going on simultaneously: keeping them straight, but similar, can sometimes be a challenge. That’s why it’s important to live our daily lives infused with the best of our holiday intentions. Make that your everyday resolution today.
