christmas spirit

i was listening to a talk the other day about giving. what it boiled down to was that if something comes up in my life, an issue of some sort, a problem, before i "do" anything, first look to see what i can give. what do i already know? what gifts do i have that might make a difference? then begin giving that knowledge, wisdom, intuitive action.

this was a welcome message for me to hear in the midst of this busy holiday season. there is a lot of work in the lab - and at the same time many time related tasks to accomplish in the name of giving - gifts to give, calls to make, - and that, i find can tip the equilibrium of hte holiday spirit toward stress or being spread in different directions.

this season above others, i feel the spirit of exuberance pervading the atmosphere. that is the christmas gift i needed.
