Remember not all the gifts for Christmas or whatever holiday you may be celebrating will be gift-wrapped!

It can be overwhelming trying to purchase, pack, and enjoy the holiday season. And while I (we) stress over what to buy for this person or coworker….it’s time to take a breath and remember the little “gifts” that surround us every day.

• Ignoring the electronic device in your hand
• Touching base with friends and neighbors
• A smile
• A hug
• A thank you
• A ride
• A helping hand to somebody trying to carry too much through a busy mall or parking lot
• Little kids giggling in the store
• Cards with pictures of people we know and love
• Short lines at the grocery store
• Safe roads for traveling to family and friends
• A parking space within 200 yards of the mall
• A simple dinner with loved ones
• Good health

Whatever holidays you may be celebrating may all your wishes come true!
