In my family we have this silly running joke about the Seven Dwarves (yes, the ones from Snow White). Whenever one of us is sick and someone asks how we are, the reply is simply “I am all the Negative Dwarves” meaning that I’m Sleepy, Grumpy and Sneezy.
Well, for this holiday season I have decided to create the Positive Dwarves. These little critters each have one of the positive characteristics that I wish for each of us, and they are Thankful, Joyful, Hopeful, Faithful, Thoughtful, Fruitful, and Quiet.
So here is my list, with what each of the Positive Dwarves means to me. I hope that you can be all the Positive Dwarves this holiday, and throughout 2025!
I hope you are…
Thankful Aware of all the positive people in your life that you can be grateful for—and that you take a little time to tell them about your gratitude.
Joyful Celebrating the wonderful moments of every day—laughing with others, seeing a pretty holiday candle—and experiencing a little child-like joy.
Hopeful Confident that the future can be better, and that you can play a part in making it so.
Faithful True to your core values and not distracted by the frivolous, the mean-spirited, the shallow things all around us.
Thoughtful Taking some time for thought, and being, literally, thoughtful, particularly about others who may need your help and support.
Fruitful Creating abundance in your life and others—whether it is a full harvest that brings us food, beautiful crafting that produces fabric or pottery, excellent parenting that helps children grow, or whatever you can create.
Quiet Finding peaceful moments for rest and renewal with a still mind and a warm heart.
Enjoy the Positive Dwarves–I promise they will help to keep us all thriving!
