Do you need more stuff? I didn't think so...Neither do I! So, what's a person to do? 
Here is some of my thinking:

1. Create Some Memories-Give the gift or your time to those you care about. It's all about love anyway, so think of a way you can spend some time with loved ones creating times that will be treasured:

Slow down, shun the mall and dream up a way to share yourself with those who love you. Your time is the BEST gift you could give most people!

2.  Brighten Someone's Day- A few years ago, when I rode my bike daily on the frontage road by I-10, I rolled up $1 bills and placed them along the road in the signs for the people who were wallking that road to find. When I shared this with some girlfriends, one said she was going to pick out the worst looking car in front of the store when she went shopping and leave a $5 bill under the windsheild wiper.

There is abundance your world and the universe will reflect back what you put out...find a way to give anonymously to delight someone else.

3. Take Some Time To Nourish Yourself Look at the calendar right now and find a few hours or a day that will be YOUR time between now and the end of the year. Get a massage, have an indulgent bubblebath in the middle of the day, or just walk in the woods. Give to yourself!

4. Have Some Child Time! Revel in that childlike curiosity. My granddaughter, Lily, continually delights me by pointing out things as she is learning words and "seeing" things with a fresh perspective. She thinks it is unremarkable we have a tree with lights in the hous- just one more of those new things in her life!

 If you don't have a child under 5 in your life, find a way to borrow someone else's! Bring yourself into the present moment by playing for an hour or two and really paying attention to how a child is able to look at the world through the eyes of wonder.

5.Be thankful for all the wonderous things you do have!!!!!!!!  Make a list at the end of each day from now until the end of the year of those things you are grateful for each day! And take the time to let others know you appreciate them. That's the best gift you could give someone. How blessed I am that she has gotten me to slow down and smell the roses (and look at rocks!). And I feel very grateful to you for being part of my life and giving me the encouragement and support you have, in little and big ways! Thank you!!!! Yes, I mean YOU.

May your Holidays be love-filled and your New Year the best year of your life.

 First, the gifts......Thank you for supporting me this year: here are some ways I'd like to give back     :>)
