To Give and to Get....

I am amazed at the amount of 'Light' in my life.  My mom always told me ' You give and you get, ten-fold.' She still convinces me when I am down, that it all will come back. Give, give, give.... 
My husband, Greg,  once told me - ' You should give gifts without any desire for getting back.  That would be a bonus, not a requirement.' 

I decided a while back - both Mom and Greg are right.  And guess what? They WERE right.  I try (and don't always succeed) to give in my life. Just to give because I WANT to. Because I already GET something by giving. I give little treats, I give big treats, I give my heart. All (well most of the time) because I want to, not have to... and I have never received more in my life, than I do now.

I have love shown and given to me virtually every day.  I get the most thoughtful, heartfelt gifts.  Gives of edible treats, gifts from the heart... all kinds of gifts and love.  I am so grateful. And in this season... I want to thank everyone in my life.  all my students who show me love, my family, my friends.  Look inside your heart. Give gifts because you want to... not because you have to.  Give gifts because it makes you feel good.  Give gifts without any expectation of getting back.  You will get back. I promise. Just not the way you thought.....
