As we wrap up 2013 and move into the thick of the holiday
season, we are inundated with gifts.
Gifts for your kids, gifts for your friends, gifts for you neighbors,
and the list goes on and on. We get so
busy shopping and buying and wrapping and baking and exchanging that we forget
that the true gifts aren’t found in a package or at Kohls (even if it is 30%
off).
The real gifts are what you find in today. It is the gift of the relationships around
you….It is the gift that you can be for others…it is the gift that you are
blessed with by being exactly where you are supposed to be. I promised myself I wasn’t going to use that
cheesy quote about “yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a
gift…that is why it is called the present.”
So, I won’t use that….
But, I hope this winter break is filled with friends,
family, and rest. I hope that you are
able to recharge your batteries for a super second part of the year. (And you might want to charge up a back-up
set, while you are at it). Focus on the
gifts around you, and thank them for being there. Spoil them and enjoy the time with them.
When you return, I hope we all find a way to be a gift to
these kids and the Huggins’ families.
They need our best every day, and I thank you for always being driven to
do that.
I wish you the absolute best this holiday season…you will be
missed, but your rest is well deserved!
Thank you for all you do.
Happy Friday!
