In this holiday season...

... what's your gift to yourself? Yes, you read right! - 'to yourself' - what's your gift to yourself? Everywhere around me I see a flurry - people filling stores, carrying large and small packets, some happy their shopping's done and others are really stressed because they're having trouble coming up with creative ideas for gifts. In the midst of this hoopla, did you remember to have 'your best friend' on your list, to get a gift for? Indeed, YOU are the one who is your 'best friend' and would you agree that a best friend deserves the very best? Depending on your budget you may buy whatever you like for this special 'person', but why not be a little creative and have fun with this. A very creative idea someone close to me has recently shared which I think deserves a larger dissemination goes thus:

Write out a few activities you love doing, or would enjoy doing, or haven't found the time to do on slips of paper and put these slips into a bag. On a given day draw a slip and do whatever comes up. Still better would be to write 12 things and put them in a bag pulling one activity a month and in this way give yourself a special gift all year round. Some of these could be about doing something for someone else as well, because in giving we receive way more. Just try it! However you allow this to unfold, my wish for you is that you have a blast :-)!!!
