Halloween 2009 has passed, marking the beginning of the 2009 holiday season to come!
From this point forward,..no more vacation days off (need to save all of those up for the Christmas break). I want to be able to enjoy a fun filled two-weeks of family, friends, laughs, love, celebration and silliness (in no particular order, of course).
The weather has cooled off considerably here in Arizona and the commercialization of the holiday season has taken to the store shelves in abundance as usual.
Every year around this time I find myself indulging in fantasies of the endless possibilities should I chose to apply some of my imagination and creativity to the gift giving season. I think, if I start planning now, I can accomplish something amazing. But then, I get busy..and end up purchasing gifts that my friends and family will – or will not, enjoy. My typical “M.O.” materializes in the form of gift cards, bath and body works gift sets, slippers, books, cloths, toys...etc.
But, I long to do something special. To reclaim the authenticity of who I am and show that I can offer something more meaningful to my loved ones without succumbing to the mindless cesspool of pre-packaged gifts. How can I gift something that shares a piece of myself while complementing or better yet, inspiring others?
Well, this year is no different than years past. I have begun my fantasy stage..the difference though, remains to be seen. Will I throw in the towel and pass on my ideas to future years? Or, will I step it up and find some personal fulfillment beyond the mystical wonders of my imagination?
I just might be in the right mindset for pushing myself a bit further this year..
I’m on a more significant and more concretely motivated path to self improvement. My new attitude may lend itself quite nicely to the materialization of my imagination.
