Love is in the air

It must be the draw up to Christmas, but love is in the air.


I am feeling and hearing a lot of gratitude and appreciation for the work people are doing and for the contribution they are having. Be it through Christmas cards, thank you notes, group dinners, love is present.


Anyone else noticing it too?


The cynical part of me, says why do we have to wait til the end of the year to express our thanks to the people around us, and then I think, who cares?


Isn't it wonderful that we do it at least once a year?


So what have you heard from others about what they are grateful to you for? Have you been listening to the positive words people are saying about you? Or did you brush it off? I have a tendency to brush compliments off, but now and I again, I pause and listen and realize that the person giving the gift of gratitude is also getting something from the exchange and me brushing it off, is not very considerate!
This allows me to indulge and be gracious in the receiving of it.


Another question. Have you been showing your gratitude? Is there anyone left that you still need to reach out to and acknowledge their impact on your life?


There is still time.


So if you do nothing else today, grab a pen and paper, draft that email and go thank someone for something wonderful. Go on, do it right away.


It feels great and its contagious.


Go spread the love.
