A Way to Bring Happiness and Good Will Into the Holidays

It’s that time of the year when you are thinking about how to spend your time, money (or resources as I like to call them!!!)

Whether or not you have a traumatic brain injury (TBI), you may have these kinds of challenges: 

1) no money to buy gifts
2) no idea as to what to get the people on your list
3) no list
4) no way to be creative in writing out a holiday card.
5) you may have let things go to the last minute (like I have done!!)

and finally

6) no desire to want to engage in any of the holiday madness!!

My suggestion for anyone who feels this way is to think outside the box like the clients at the Freedom Center. We have decided to visit a nursing home in the area, and give not money nor purchases, but rather something more meaningful – we are giving our presence to people who are shut-ins.

You may be wondering how this will help you with other people like friends, family members, acquaintances, whom you may feel you have let down. I have the solution for that situation… when you give love by doing something like our group is going to do..take a picture of the event or incident, makes copies of it and give them away as “presents” to your friends, family members and acquaintances.

Because that is what Holiday Giving is all about – Giving Love!
