As I write this, today is Tuesday, November 28th. It’s known as ‘Giving Tuesday’. The spirit of giving at this time of year always warms my heart. Not just the giving of gifts and material possessions, but the giving of yourself. Your physical and spiritual self. Your time, your attention, your soul. I was talking with a friend on the phone last night. He gave ME a call. I was joking with him saying that I was just thinking of calling him over the past few days, but it’s a good thing he reached out because goodness knows, I wouldn’t have called. I always have the best intentions, but I quite often fall short of the goal. And that’s really my point. Sometimes we get so busy with our lives, we forget what life is all about. Giving ourselves to our friends and family. On this Giving Tuesday, I encourage you to give something of yourself today. Make that phone call you’ve been putting off. Go see your parents or your grandparents if you’re lucky enough to still have them around. Or maybe drop by unexpectedly on your kids if they’re no longer living at home. Kids love unexpected visits from their parents, right? Whatever you do, give yourself. If you wish to wrap yourself up in a bow, that’s up to you. 🙂 Have a great day.
