There's a cute commercial on TV these days reminding us of the joy of giving. A good thought for all the year one would think. But since it gets you to pondering the gift of giving we might as well start looking down the list at all the "B-List" items that we don't normally include when we consider giving gifts. Let's take some time to consider some of the lesser gifts we can give or have been given.
1. The Yearly Plague that each year is so generously bestowed upon me by my grand children during the month of November. At first this may seem to be any thing BUT a blessing but once given closer observation it is indeed quite the gift. Each year these darlings bring home vast and powerful germs from day care and spray and smear them across my body with precision that only a highly trained agent can accomplish. These germs take a solid grip in my sinus cavities, nasal passages and lungs and proceed to multiply at an astounding rate until the host body is brought to its knees. (literally) Yet again I need remind you this REALLY IS A BLESSING. (I'm still getting to that part!) Although I am now so sick it is necessary to go to a doctor it is ALSO necessary to cancel ALL other appointments, dates, projects and crap that I had scheduled for the next TWO weeks because I am too sick to do anything. The doctor give me medicine, I go home and shut the door and now have tow full weeks to write Christmas cards and wrap presents !!!!!!! It is FANTASTIC !!!!!!!
2. The Gift of Silence. Something that some of us might consider when tempted to respond to emails or blogs or postings on facebook that don't always agree with our political views. Just because someone sends it or posts it or says it doesn't mean you need to respond to it. Just hit the delete button and move on.
