Christmas Blessings
Christmas songs bring it all back
Bring back memories of all we lack,
Their lyrics reminds us of times more rosy,
Words that create feelings that are so cosy,
Yet so many speak of fairytales and dreams
Always hopeful or so it seems,
Many a dream may fade away,
When we're lost in the day to day,
Reminding ourselves of our hope,
Makes us joyful and helps us cope,
So my wish for you at the time of year,
Is to have more hope and a little less fear,
You are stronger than you know,
Hopeful faith will help you grow,
Christmas blessings to one and all,
Our lives can rise, after they fall.

When times are tough we look around for inspiration or success stories about people who have been in our position and succeeded. These stories are all around us but we don’t pay attention to them until we need them.
When I needed inspiration, I came across Tick Tick...Boom! on Netflix and it has become a bit of an obsession for me. It’s an autobiographical musical about a man who kept going even though the odds were against him. I needed to hear his story and now I am going to tell you why it is a good source of inspiration.
