Merry Christmas! May this holiday season smile gently upon you and yours, and may the New Year bring you light and joy.
Laurie, I\’m truly amazed at how you keep up with it all (blog/commenting/social media) and with aplomb. Bless you!
Marian – It\’s easy! My strategy is this: I never \”spend\” my time, I only \”invest\” it. If we spend time – more precious than money – we usually have nothing to show for it. When we invest it, we usually receive an ROI (return on investment). My return is always positive, uplifting, constructive, and healing 🙂
Investing rather than spending–perfect answer! It all depends on one\’s point of view and yours is constantly positive and uplifting.
Merry Christmas, Marian.
Merry Christmas, Linda. I remember that you were one of the first to follow my blog I believe in March 2013. Happy New Year to you and yours as well!
Merry Christmas and richest blessings for the new year! 🙂
Thank you and all good wishes to you too in the new year, blog friend!
