Gifting

I refuse to get into the competitive urination over holidays and Christmas. We all bring different dishes to the table and we all have different tastes. Build a bridge and "GET OVER IT."

We need not argue about sharing with others on ANY day, regardless of religion or following. The thought we need to wait until some specific day to share is stupid. We only need to see the need. We NEED to get over when and get to the what.

If you are inclined to give this time of year, give something people can share for many years. Give people promise, tools, and skills. Give people more than cash, food, and comfort. They need all that too, but give them something to carry them through.

A dinner, a blanket, and things of that nature will get them through the day. Nothing wrong with that before someone decides to shred my train of thought.

Look long term. Think possibilities. Think living. Think of others. Think of what you might need were you in their shoes.

Tons of emotion flow this time of year. Stop long enough to use those emotions to make a difference.
