Gift Season



The way we give and receive gifts indicates a great deal about us. It takes time, thoughtfulness, and creativity to select a present for someone we care about. 
Often the present becomes a symbol of friendship or involves an item to fill a specific need.

On other occasions, the gift selection feels mandatory and takes less effort. The gift of our presence for someone in need also requires thought and skill.

Self-awareness and empathy run through the process.

Think about gift giving and receiving. Examine all aspects of "gift." 
Consider an event, rejection, or situation as a gift.

Begin with a present or result you did not appreciate at first. Did it gain meaning? 
Or is it something you're still attempting to resolve?
Enjoy possibilities to learn during gift giving season. Try to take gifts that disappoint in stride.
