gift-1015699_640Look at your fellow humans as they rush about preparing for the holidays.  Yes, some are cheerful, but some are more harried than ever due to the crowds, the traffic, and all of the extra obligations that go with the season.  What is the reason for the season?  To celebrate love, kindness, and for many, to celebrate the birth of one who emulated these virtues.  Pause regularly in all of your rushing about.  Any obligations weighing upon you are arbitrary.  Be the presence of love and kindness and celebrate being the reason yourself.
