Left over gifts

It is my fervent wish that you had a heart-warming Christmas.  But what about the left-over gifts?  We can share baked goodies we won't eat with our neighbors.  It will contribute to all of us exercising.  Sometimes, though, we forget that gifts can be given every day.  There is the gift of a smile for a stranger, the opening of a door, or even a kind word.  These gifts can be given every day of the year.  The food bank always needs contributions, sadly people are hungry all the time.  The good news is that these people can take a few dollars and turn them into several meals for a family.  If we live where it is snowy, we can shovel someone else's snow.  We can spend some time cleaning out our closets and giving away things we no longer use.  Let the gift giving become a daily habit. Give someone some joy, shine the light on them.  All these things cost nothing but a little energy on our part and we have no idea what they send out into the world.
