September Snow, Winter Love, Gift Idea & 2008......
Well that right there says it all. I'm sure we are in for a long winter, and that being said, I'm getting prepared. Cleaning like a mad woman (tee hee) cleaning all my tarot decks, reorganizing all my crystals, and of course breaking out the winter blankies.
I wanted to make a statement about winter and loneliness. It really bites the big one but it doesn't have to. Stock up on books you really want to read but haven't had the time. On those cold nights when no one is there and nothing is on the tube, you can cozy up. Grab some really good meditation CD's. Take up a new challenging hobby, say...art? Poetry? Sculpting? Needlework? Whatever your heart desires. You really want to have something around to challenge you, soothe you and definitely something that feeds your knowledge. It really doesn't take the place of a lover, but it's a great fill in if you put your heart into you.
I'm really excited about this year ahead. So many things will be new! Fill your mind with peace, love, and harmony this winter- you'll be glad you did.
If you are one of those people LOL (like me) and always think of others, then start doing that now! Get all the hectic Holiday Shopping over with. One great thing to do is to always have on hand, a unique gift. Doesn't matter how small. When you have a guest over you can discretely go into the other room and put a little hanging tag on it, and give it away. It's remarkable how this makes a person feel. I always keep a couple spare out of the ordinary ones on hand. One year I had an old friend show up without notice. I'd already wrapped it, and just threw a tag on it and gave it to her. It was just a set of 4 unique mugs, but to this day she still breaks them out when I visit. That was over 7 years ago!
Send out or give away Thank You Cards.......to everyone for everything. LOL Thanks for coming over and spending time with me......Thanks for being my neighbor.......Thanks for putting up with my lame jokes..........Thanks Thanks Thanks! People don't hear it eough these days and we don't say it enough.
Write Mini Stories for all the people you know. The Subject is them and how great of an inspiration they are to you. Awesome keepsake memory! Start these now and you'll be the one giving out the best gifts this Holiday Season and it will last a lifetime. (Unlike Vacuums)
My Best to all of you. May your spirit be filled with Joy and Love in all You Do!
Bright Blessings
