ah the christmas season has arrived

this popped up as the quote for today on daisy tracker.
The manner of giving is worth more than the gift. -Pierre Corneillei found it very fitting for the time of year.

definitely something to keep in mind, especially since in the end things fade, it's our words and actions that have the ability to stick and make a change.

a couple times recently i've gone to the store to pick up one or two things for whatever project i was working on at the time, and the person in front of me in the check out line saw i wasn't getting much and offered to let me go ahead of them. what's interesting to me is that i don't remember much of anything else about those trips to the store, but i do remember the kindness of those people.

the gift of kindness is free, you can give it to anyone anytime, and at the same time it's one of the most truly valuable gifts you can give.

this holiday season pay attention to how you act in the stores, at work, and at home, think about all the immaterial gifts you can give (kindness, love, etc.) and you may greatly impact those around you. possibly more than you'll ever know.
