Rise and Shine on Dec. 19 (sometimes it’s only when you keep hitting the same wall that you become open to a new approach), Dec. 20 (is it true that you’ve found the answer to all your problems? Maybe not forever, but at least for now), Dec. 22 (it looks like your request finally got through and that the answer will be yes), Dec. 23 (helping people to help themselves is one of the best gifts that you can give), and Dec. 25 (high expectations may feel intimidating but that’s only because you haven’t reached them yet. Let them act as something to strive for for now)

Duck and Cover on Dec. 21 (a sobering development brings things down to earth. Then again any crash you can walk away from isn’t all that bad), Dec. 24 (it might be time to stop giving to someone who takes so much. It’s draining the life out of your other friendships), and Dec. 26 (too much work for too little is costing you. You need to find something that pays better)
