MY TWO CENTS
It’s not about your presents, but it is about your presence. Therein lies the spirit of the holiday season… How quickly I can get caught up in the gift giving and the holiday season and forget to be here and present. It’s an exciting time of the year, but I don’t want to get lost in the hustle and bustle. I want to be in the moment and be present with those I’m celebrating this season with. So, I will keep this quote close at hand to remind me to work on being more present.
