Gifts Abound

Gifts abound in work and life.

Celebrating a milestone birthday with a family member thoughts turn to the idea of the gifts we give, and those we receive.

There’s a gift in the

support,

kind words,

time,

listening,

lessons learned,

knowledge discovered,

feedback,

new ideas,

opportunities,

trust,

compassion and empathy,

recognition,

gratitude,

chance,

change, and

so much more,

when we are fortunate enough to afford it to others, or be the recipient of it, in our work and life.

By seeing the gifts that abound, beyond the oft-used narrow definition, it becomes a gift in itself.

I’m curious, what gifts have you given and received this week?
