My favorite book of the season

What's your favorite book?  Do you have a special one that you read every year?  What was one of your favorite childhood stories?  It amazes me how some of the stories we were read have such sweet memories that we so preciously treasure.  And sometimes can't get through without shedding a tear or two. (Thank you Shel Silverstein)

There are a lot of books that reflect different times of the year, but one of my favorite books is one that my mother gave to me. It's not a story of me or family history.  It's an address and birthday book of our relatives.  It's a book of time and love because it's her handwriting.  The time it took to transfer all those addresses into one place.  The passing down to the next generation.  What could be a more perfect gift?

There are lots of ideas for gifts that give throughout the year, are clutter free and will be treasured just because of the thought. It's sounds cliche, but it really is the the fact that whatever the gift, it came fully heartfelt from you. 

To your Most Peaceful Self
