Stop & Enjoy the Holidays

Now is the time to slow down!!!! Once all the shopping, cooking, preparing, wrapping, decorating, letter writing, packing, cleaning, oh and did I say wrapping is done...then my favorite time arrives!! Now I get to play Santa-traveling around with that satisfying joy inside delivering gifts, trinkets and treats to everyone that has touched my life. Whether it is a personalized Christmas card or a thoughtful gift-now is the time to passionately give from your heart! I understand we all feel the financial crunch at the holidays, but that is no excuse not to share with people you adore...share a used book, put a cute photo in a frame, make homemade snacks or desserts-there are tons of things to do. But, please don't take the fragility of life for granted and the precious people that surround you-really appreciate your family, friends, loved ones that have passed and new relationships to be made in the future. Don't get wrapped up in the hustle and bustle of life and not stop and enjoy the holidays-that my friends would be a travesty!
