December1^st With the new month and the season of Advent beginning, it is time to change focus. November was for giving thanks and I want to hang on to an attitude of gratitude and to the awareness of all the things for which I can be grateful. But the theme for December is generosity. I read a suggestion in the paper yesterday: a challenge. It sort of goes along with my theme for October, which was lightening the load, but has a slight a twist. The challenge is to get rid of things every day this month. Give, sell, donate or trash one thing on December first, two things on December 2^nd, three on the 3^rd and so on, until you get to thirty-one things on the 31^st. I’m going to try. But I want it to be in the spirit of giving, rather than getting rid of. I’ll attempt to give things that are dear to me and I know the recipients would love to receive. I’ll let you know how it goes. Anyone care to join the challenge?
