Some may wonder what happens to moi after the ‘Joy Jar’ exercise ends on Christmas Day. Sonia Choquette wrote in The Meaning of Christmas:
That hidden meaning is that Christmas is the festival of the human heart. It is a time of year when all the universe conspires to raise the vibratory level of consciousness on earth to one of peace and love toward ourselves and one another. This season resonates to the sweet, childlike innocence that resides in all of us. A time when the heavenly forces inspire us to shift our focus away from fear and toward one of joy, and healing.
The Christmas festival emphasizes this shift in two ways; one is the rebirth of the soul and the second is the return of the light to earth. Even before the rebirth of Christ which centers around our modern day Christmas festival, as far back as recorded history, in fact, these two themes of rebirth and light have emerged again and again during this time of year.
It is as if Divine Consciousness moves forward year after year, during the darkest season, to bring us back to light….

Today’s deposit into the ‘Joy Jar’ is looking forward to Christmas as the beginning of a period of change and growth for moi.
If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.
Maya Angelou
Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can’t ride you unless your back is bent.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Reinhold Niebuhr
You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

Never believe that a few caring people can’t change the world. For, indeed, that’s all who ever have.
Margaret Mead
When we are no longer able to change a situation – we are challenged to change ourselves.
Viktor E. Frankl
It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.
C. S. Lewis
To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.

Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.

If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

If we don’t change, we don’t grow. If we don’t grow, we aren’t really living.

Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts.
