"What is in a Moment?"

Hello and Happy Holidays from Kids Klutter and
Aspen Lane Gifts!

Have you every stopped to think about what a
moment might look like in each of our days? Let's
take a look.  It takes a moment to wake up and
decide to start the day on a positive or negative
note.  It takes a moment to respond to a child's
needs.  It takes a moment to watch an animal scurry
through the backyard.  It takes a moment to capture
the sunrise or sunset.  It takes a moment to say hello
to a passing stranger, I love you to a family member
or you mean a lot to me to a friend. Wow!  Think
about what we accomplish in a moment of time and
also what it might mean to how our days work or do
not work.

During this holiday season we are busier then ever
and it has just begun.  Black Friday shopping has
passed and Cyber Monday approaches.  We have
all started those Christmas lists and the calendar is
most likely already looking full!  Crazy time begins!

STOP the craziness this holiday season before it
gets out of control.  Simplify your life over the next five
weeks and think about finding those moments to treasure.
Say "no"  to the things you can and find more family and
friend time.  As you decorate, look around and see the
smile in a child, the wonder in your family and the love
within your hearts.  Make your life simple this holiday.
Buy gifts for the needy, volunteer at a shelter, serve a
meal to the home bound. The teachable and most meaningful
moments are the easiest to find and they are all around us!

And, make your own gift giving simple and smaller this
year.  It is not in the cost, the size or the gift itself...it is
in the act of giving that makes the difference and true
moments are discovered!

We wish you the happiest, healthiest and simplist of
holidays this year and may your moments come in many
ways!  And, may your treasures be that of the heart!
