Thanks for the gifts: grace under grit and reducing baggage

‘Tis the season to sweat about gifts.  What to buy for who.  Bumping elbows in sardine packed malls is the norm. For many, later today recycling bins will be overflowing with torn gift wrap.   Piles of gifts will have been opened.  Stuffed stomachs will vie for space on couches equally stuffed with visiting family […]
