My Gift To You...

I was looking over my blog recently and had to smile;

I have had the lucky chance of seeing every one of my

favorite movies listed here over the past month.  Not

the entire 2 hours of each, but enough bits and pieces

that it FEELS like I saw the whole movie(s).  What is

remarkable is, with how busy we've been, and the fact

that we don't have the tv on during the school week,

how on earth did I find the time?  I thought about it

and I have to chalk it up to simply turning it on during

gift wrapping, late night laundry sessions, or just for

some noise while I am tidying up after a long busy day.

Either way, it made me realize, there are 1440 minutes

in a day, and if we really try to squeeze things in here 

and there, every day, it IS  possible to touch base with

things that bring you joy.  There are so many things

we have to do, but if we make an effort (it's not easy

multi-tasking I know) we can fill in the corners here

and there with movies, lunches with friends,

a chapter from a favorite book, or even a quick nap!

During this busy season, my gift to all of you is this-

remember to make time for the things that bring you joy!

If you feel happier, you'll make others feel happier --and 

what a wonderful domino effect that would be!
