The gift of mindfulness: Christmas gift ideas

For the friend who always listens, for the mum, that's always there. For granddad, carver of excellent walking sticks. It's not the WHAT that matters when giving a gift. It's the HOW and WHY. We want to appreciate so many dear people at the end of the year. For listening. For tagging along. For being and remaining. Whether a large gold vase or a little porcelain angel. Whether a candle holder or a table object. A gift says: I think of you. You are important to me. The joyful curiosity when unwrapping! The surprised delight when they discover it! This is the power of a gift: being mindful of those who are blessings in our lives.
