Not a Nuclear Arms Race!

1. Send actual Christmas cards, with hand-written notes, rather than newsletters, e-cards, etc. Mail with actual handwriting just seems so much more special, and taking time to compose short personal messages just feels so much better.

2. Don't turn gift-giving into a nuclear arms race: Thoughtfulness matters more than price.

3. I'm with John on scheduling vacation days and time off for events and maintaining those boundaries.

SUZIE'S COMMENTS...
Richard,

You are so right @ personal notes on Christmas cards - I may send out less cards, but what I do send has more meaning and creates stronger connections. Wonderful suggestion and reminder.

Love your nuclear race comment. Easy for us all to get caught up 'in the whirl'!

Thank you for sharing with the Wake Up Eager community.
