A few days ago my 5 year old niece came to the window, got behind the curtain, looked up in the starry sky and said: “Santa, Dear, I am very sorry, but I’ve changed my wish list. Would you please, instead of…bring me…”. Then she proceeded to recite her new short list of toys. After that she said “Thank you” and “I am sorry” again, got out from behind the curtain and quietly went to bed.
Remember “Listen to the voice of innocence!” phrase from Andersen’s fairy tale
“The Imperor’s New Clothes”?
The innocence spoke again: plan your actions, when you change your plans, promptly inform those, who might be affected by the changes you’ve made, don’t be afraid to say “I am sorry” and your life and the life of those close to you will be a happy and a minimally stress free one.
Happy Holidays to all of you. May all your wishes come true!
