31 Gifts ~ Day One

Happy December!!!
 
For this month, I would like to share a "gift" each day.  It will be like an advent calendar, of sorts!  Just a wee bit healthier, as there are no chocolatey bits when you open the windows (aka posts)!  The best part ... most of them are free!!  While I am sharing them as a daily reminder this month, I hope you will embrace and put them into practice all year long. 
 
Day One Gift: Curiosity
Life is meant to be a learning experience.  It is our natural sense of curiosity that leads us to seek knowledge.  As we learn new things, we are creating new pathways in our brains!  Yes, we are growing our brains!!! 
 
Read up on how other cultures celebrate holidays, perhaps you will find something to incorporate into yours.  Start to learn a new language...maybe for that trip you have been dreaming of!  While you are at it, learn more about the location, the people, the culture of the places you wish to travel, those you have written on your "Live It" list. 
 
Drive different routes to/from work and errands.  You may find a park, a shopping center or simply a more enjoyable drive for those “must-do” trips. 
 
In the evenings, pack up the family and visit other neighborhoods to enjoy and admire the lights, the baubles and the growing number of inflatables in the front yards.  This is also a great way to do a little research should you be looking to move in the near future.  Heck, there may even be a For Sale sign amid all the twinkly lights, garland and giant candy canes!!
 
 
I would love to hear from you in the comments on the ways you found to pique your curious side!
