Today's challenge is short and simple. This holiday, REMEMBER THE LONELY. Take time to schedule a visit or phone call with someone you know will be lonely this holiday season. It may be an aging parent or grandparent, a college student who can't get home because of work, the neighbor you know has no friends or family over and is alone, the single person who's always home alone, the coworker with no family in your area, or people at church with no family nearby. Today, list those people and put something in your future schedule so they don't get forgotten. Be there for them. Show them you care. Most suicides happen on New Year's Day more than any other time of the year. Let lonely people know they aren't alone this season. Include someone special in your plans.
