The 2008 holidays have come and gone; I am left wondering how many people got the kind of attention they really wanted...Did they get the kind of gifts they wanted? Did they get included in special events and with special people? Did they get to feel that their families really cared about them?
I got a truly thoughtful and special gift from my family this year. Two of my sons, one of my daughters-in-law and my youngest granddaughter sat around my dining table for several hours, while we all plotted out my 2009. What would I need to organize my year? What would it take for me to finish my book, to move part-time to New York? They even gave me homework to do, which I did and sent them for their review...Their gift to me was their time, their sensitivity, their awareness of the kind of support I needed. I was truly impressed, inspired and grateful. And that's a gift which keeps on giving, for I have a view of what I want for 2009 and am organizing it more every day!
I also got wonderful soap and chocolate bars, both of which are very high on my favorites list.
And I gave really good presents this year, for the recipient's reactions were honestly gleeful!
