I still get as giddy as a kid every year around this time. In spite of hectic schedules, we select this season
to shift our thoughts from the analytics and stresses of our vocations to the wonderful feelings and memories treasured from Christmases past.
Our family; parents, 3 children, 5 grandchildren will begin the celebration at my daughter’s home tonight for our traditional Christmas Eve, Bouillabaisse feast. YEA!
Then the happy chaos of the big day.
To the point, I feel it is truly a day when we get to intensely practice our natural nurturing skills. I literally ‘shop’ all year. I keep a list of all those people I most love in my iPhone app with their names along with a reminder of the things that I know they love the most and their personal passions. While on tour, I occasionally get a chance to browse some great shopping malls while I get in my walk. It makes it easy and fun to find exactly the OMG gift for each one.

May good nurturing come your way today and all the days to come. Jim
