Parades are so much fun. Smiling faces, marching bands, fire engines, sirens, drums, beauty pageant queens, fancy cars, horses and riders ... if only life could be a constant parade? This weekend as 2011 Miss Teen Delaware-World, I had the pleasure of attending and participating in not only one but two hometown holiday parades; Dover's Home for the Holidays in Kent County and Seaford's Christmas Parade in Sussex County. Being a resident of the most northern county in Delaware it's fun to travel south into rural Delaware and visit with some of my neighbors and friends below the Canal while representing Delaware in the Teen-World crown and sash. So is life a parade for you?
If it is, don't forget those less fortunate around you. Filled with the Spirit of Christmas, reach out and help them along their journey in life. Volunteer your time during winter vacation for some worthy cause, donate a toy to Toys for Tots, help out in a Needy Family Food Drive, do something for someone else. There are so many ways to help others. BUT, if your life is not a parade, don't be afraid to reach out to your friend, parents, teachers, guidance counselor, minister or someone you trust to HELP YOU ALONG YOUR JOURNEY IN LIFE. There's someone there to help you!
I'm so very thankful for all of you who take the time to read this blog, maybe take heart and feel better about yourself OR better yet give of yourself to others! God bless you this Holiday Season.
Until next time,
Kristyn Z.
