For me, it could be a simple walk in the woods. White Pines have always been my favorite. Is it the soft needles, clean underbrush, or pleasant smell? I don't know. I can't say for sure why this is so meditative, but I do love the peace I find walking amongst these trees. For you, perhaps tranquility can be found walking on the beach or curled up reading a good book.
Growing up, I was blessed with great parents, and to this day, the gifts that I remember the most were the simplest and the best. The fancy presents are long gone, but the simple ones remain on my wall desk or mantle to enjoy. I would like to share one of these simple gifts with you. Consider this as you fret over what to put under the Christmas tree. It is a small plaque given to me as a youth, with a personal inscription in my father's words, reading, "I would like to think the following words were tried and tested and passed down thru the ages from those so great to those we love." I, Louis Jasikoff, would now like to pass the same words on to you. In the crazy world in which we find ourselves today, try to uncover a little time to be alone with your thoughts. Slow down, enjoy the day, and share it with the ones you love.
