It's been a tough year. The virus has taken most of the joy out of our lives and locked us down into little shells of ourselves and our worlds.
If there is a silver lining in these dire times it might be that we have slowed down and reflected on what is most important to us. Do we wear a mask to protect ourselves? Or to protect the ones we care about? Have we paused the rush forward so that we can spend time with the ones we care about? Maybe read a book we have put off or wrote a letter we meant to send?
In this holiday season I hope that people realize that presence not presents is what matters. Quiet time with family and friends is more important than frenzied parties and vacuous affairs. Perhaps even a time to rebuild bridges that were burned in the past.
Without getting too sappy, life really is too short …
Make my day, tell a friend about this blog!
