…perfect time to repair any strained relationships…

With all the good will that gets passed around during the holiday season, it’s the perfect time to repair any strained relationships you might have in your life.  People are generally in a cheerful mood, which makes them far more open to forgiving and accepting forgiveness.  So, if you have any strained relationships, now is the perfect opportunity to make that phone call and say, “I’ve missed you.  Can we get together for lunch sometime soon?”  Or, to walk over to a fellow employee’s work area and say, “I’m sorry about the way I acted during the meeting last month.”  If you do this, you’ll not only crank up the intensity of the holiday spirit that’s already inside you, but you’ll start the New Year with a clean slate as well.
