Christmas Motivation: Things People Will Do

So today, as I was out on my weekly walk (mostly out of habit), I discovered that the critter that had been going through recycling bins and trash cans in my neighbourhood was in fact, not a critter at all. Instead, it was this old woman who perused through peoples’ garbage cans and recycling bins for cans and bottles that she might perhaps take to a recycling depot. 

Okay, so this isn’t the woman, but she looked equally as funny, with her cart and garbage bag full of cans and bottles. It’s interesting how some people’s lives never seem to stop despite the circumstances. It’s important to remember that despite the holidays we can’t stop living life and being productive. Yes, it is important to celebrate and kick back, but the holidays don’t mean we can just stop being responsible for our actions and lives. I don’t mean that we have to do what this woman is doing, but realistically, during the holidays, we should at least have some kind of control so that at the end of it, we can go back to our lives knowing we did our best to make sure that we are in one piece, as well as making sure the rest of the world is too.
