Was SANTA good to you??
With the holidays coming to an end, and decorations slowly coming down, to be put away till next year, I have found myself reflecting on the past year. Wondering at a time when so much has been given if I’m operating with an attitude of gratitude or one of unmet expectations. Does that sound familiar?
For many, this season is filled with parties, gift exchanges and celebrations, that it can sometimes become overwhelming. In the midst of celebrating with friends and family this past week, I was struck by the generosity of the season. Friends, family and loved ones spend weeks scouring the stores in search of the “perfect” gift, gadget, decorations, dishes and wrapping, for those they hold dearest to their hearts. With the expectation that the recipient will be jumping for joy at what’s inside the pretty package, coupled with the slight fear they missed the mark completely. This is where all of us need to step back and check ourselves; do we really deserve any of it? The simple answer is, no.
If we consciously work on coming from a place of gratitude we would all be better off. Maybe that Retro Handset isn’t quite the style or color you would have chosen but lets’ be thankful for the people who gave it to us. We should all be thankful to have people who care enough about us, to think about us. Moving forward into a new year, let’s spend more time being grateful and less time expecting.
