Christmas, giving, holiday season, postaday2012, presents

I am so glad that I don’t have to worry about getting small Christmas presents for all of the teachers that taught my baby boy and baby girl any more. During their elementary years at the same school, the gift giving presented me with yearly challenges; finding something of nice quality within a reasonable price range and something appropriately personal to each teacher, I went through this for six years. I never really minded, it wasn’t easy, but all of the teachers deserved a token of thanks for all of their hard work and dedication.

Nowadays, Sybil and I get Christmas presents from our “students” at our weekly osteoporosis weight class. Today we each received a beautifully decorated gingerbread cookie man. I also received my annual Christmas spiced bread made by the lovely lady that I bring to weight class each week, she also included a present for Jack; she is dog crazy. Next week Sybil and I will be getting each a gift from the Town’s Council on Aging as a thank you for teaching the class. It’s fun to be teacher during the holidays, presents and everything.

Write a letter

Think about one thing in the back of your mind that’s bothering you. Now, write it a letter.

Dear everyone past and present who I hold dear,

I am writing to you to apologize for being one of the worst correspondents in the world. I am not only talking about letters, I am also talking about phone calls. It is not that you aren’t in my thoughts and on my mind, you are, but I have this incredible flaw of retreating within myself and isolating myself from the world and the people in it. I know that you are only a letter or phone call away, but for some reason I get so comfortable in my isolation that it becomes a bigger obstacle than it ever should be and it only grows in size the longer I let it remain.

I am writing to tell you that I know that this is a severe failing on my part and I am sorry. I think of you often and with much love, I will try to do better, much better in the future.

with love

Laurie
