This week has been a week of gifts.
Either receiving them or giving them. I came back to my desk just now and found a box of jelly beans with a thank you note attached. So lovely and I am partial to jelly beans as well. Unexpected and very thoughtful.
Also last week in a charity shop I came across a travel journal (a fancy Moleskine too) that I knew would have a good home for the right person. Today I handed it over to that friend with lots of little inscriptions in pertinent place to make them laugh. It did.
It gave me such pleasure.
He also reminded me a time I had gifted a 1000 piece jigsaw to a team I was leaving. I gave the empty box to the person I thought would keep the team together, the frame pieces to the person who would structure the team and keep them on track, the inside pieces to the person who would provide content and energy and the blue pieces of sky I gave to the dreamer, the big thinker, the person who saw endless opportunities in the world. It had been an inspired gift and if I am honest, one that was made up last minute on the spot, when I was looking for a way to honour that fabulous team.
So what gifts have you been giving?
Is there someone out there you want to say Hi to?
Little presents are never misplaced or wrong. Granted, some gifts are better than others, but the intent is always clear. A gift says “Here is something that symbolizes that I was thinking about you and wanted to honour our relationship” a gift is nothing other than a piece of love.
So who are you going to gift to this weekend?
