I am still trying to get it right myself. the first step is knowing that much of what i create around this is in my own head.<br /><br />Silver, you're so right. I hope you are well today, dear Silver. Sending love.<br /><br />Sandra, welcome! Thank you for clicking that follow button too. I hope you come often. Yes, I probably am a type A, guilty as charged (there's the guilt again, proving it!), although my Type A self says I should be able to have all the gift giving wrapped up and done before Christmas. I am a sorry Type A, aren't I?37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-3898065614331538522011-01-17T10:07:23.178-05:002011-01-17T10:07:23.178-05:00Because you're a Type A personality?

A gift, the heart of it, is a symbol of love, is it not? Another area where I believe joy is the intended purpose, not tying ourselves in knots.

People love YOU and all that you add to their lives. I have only known you for a relatively short time and only through our blogs, and to me, you are a gift to my soul. Fill the boxes with trinkets that are fun and then lots of love, no guilt. Really, people want to know that you care and that is so apparent in all that you do.<br /><br />Love and hugs,<br />DebbieDebrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05328458241519464529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-43059401746142422882011-01-15T18:03:35.639-05:002011-01-15T18:03:35.639-05:00indigodog, welcome. this is a better way to think ...indigodog, welcome. this is a better way to think about it by far!<br /><br />thanks for visiting and commenting.37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-14761427090827428342011-01-15T14:54:05.912-05:002011-01-15T14:54:05.912-05:00Better late than never!

How it evolved into the materialistic guilt fest that it is today I blame capitalism.<br /><br />I like to give though and if unexpected presents show up randomly during the year, so much the merrier.indigodoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03046834972446521829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-83834007239474221342011-01-15T13:29:13.652-05:002011-01-15T13:29:13.652-05:00Ms. Moon, you are so wise.

But once, when I was Christmas shopping and moaning and weeping, I ran into a very wise woman I know who told me, "You can't prove your love with a gift."<br />She is right although we always feel like we should be able to.Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.com
