#312: The Best Gifts (Friday, December 21)

This week many people were focused on the "end of days" and preparing for the apocalypse. Although I don't think most people actually believed the world would end, it provided an opportunity to clean house and re-prioritize.

As we approach the holiday and in the wake of the unspeakable tragedy last Friday in Sandy Hook, the "world ending" was a great reminder about the gifts that are truly important:

• Time
• Consideration
• Empathy
• Selflessness
• Kindness

Those are the gifts I'm giving and hoping to receive this year.
