		<description><![CDATA[Holiday Greetings From Health Partners]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">Tis&#8217; the season when folks are gathering and spreading a little Holiday Cheer among family and friends. Most of us (unless you are among the few individuals that prepare way ahead of time&#8230;kudos to you!) are finishing our shopping and wrapping up the last minute details for holiday parties. It is a time to count blessings and enjoy the company of those whom we may not see very often. All of these things can add up to a blissful experience. However, for m<img class="size-medium wp-image-64 alignright" title="vintage winter scene" src="http://healthpartnersinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/winter-cni-300x234.jpg" alt="vintage winter scene" width="301" height="256" />any it means STRESS!!</p>
<p>One thing to remember&#8230;BREATHE! All of the hubub surrounding the Holiday Season is temporary. Love the ones you&#8217;re with (even the ones who are a challenge), and if you are the Master of Ceremonies/Organizer/Cook/Gift Wrapper/Mediator of Conflict Situations/House Cleaner/Child Wrangler&#8230;Etc. for the events in your life- remember to take a few minutes for yourself! It IS possible, and important!</p>
<p>For many people, this is also a time of year when you may be gathering with your elder family members and friends. How wonderful! Listen to their stories and ask questions! Sometimes it seems like there may not be much to chat about with 90 year old Aunt Lucy, but I&#8217;d bet she&#8217;d love to tell you some fantastic stories, if you lend the ear and take the time. It might be the greatest gift you could ever give her- a little bit of your time and interest.</p>
<p>Enjoy the Season and all of the SIMPLE things that make this time of year so special! Please be safe and remember those who may need a little extra patience or a gentle helping hand.</p>
<p>From Health Partners to you and yours-</p>
<p>HAPPY HOLIDAYS!</p>
