We all get way too caught up in gifts. Like you, I don’t have a problem with gifts, but there are certainly more important things that we can focus on. In particular, I like that you mention enthusiasm. People really do need the encouragement that comes from enthusiastic individuals. I appreciate the enthusiasm and positive thoughts you share on this site! Walter – What a great thing to point out right before Christmas! We all get way too caught up in gifts.

Most of the time we are giving someone something they need, and they usually don't have the means to give anything back. Usually, the act of giving is to help, (either financially, mentally, physically, etc.), and the only thing that could diminish that act, I believe, is to do it expecting something out of it.

I've found I can't keep my serenity unless I first continue to give to myself in self-caring ways, and also to give positive energy to others. My favorite giving is the kind no one really notices, and that I don't receive thanks for, but that contributes to the growth of my family, or friendships, or community. Like taking my stepdaughter clothes shopping or my dad to a dr. appointment, taking notes at a volunteer meeting and making copies for the group...letting others go in front of me at the grocery or in traffic. Thanks for your writing; I enjoy your blog and have given you the Sunshine Award. :-) http://bit.ly/aTsDvq :-) Walter,

It may not ever seem like it from a one way point of view as many people have tunnel vision but when you give in life then life gives back to you.
