Gifts Of Love

Was having issues here last night and this morning. Was quite upset. Don't want to get into it on here though.

Made some decisions and choices this morning. In a way some people are right about me, I could be better at accepting the hand fate dealt me. Just accept what I cannot change.
After making up my mind, which I have been finding increasingly difficult to do lately, about anything, I feel much more calm and at peace.

Christmastime is not a time for stress and discord. Its supposed to be about peace and love, I think.

I just finished reading this article and thought I'd like to share.

Personally I love giving gifts, I try to be thoughtful when doing so. I also love receiving gifts, but could live without them. What I can't stand is all the feelings of obligation and reciprocation and thoughtless, generic gifts, given out of obligation. I give with love and thought. I like to show my love and appreciation at Christmas, with gifts. But more important to me is the time spent with and presence of the ones I love. Celebrating, reflecting, sharing. Peace, Love, Hope.

I'm going to stop here.

Heres a couple of pics from this morning.
