Giving more

Christmas greetings and thanks you for all the editions throughout 2013. In times of uncertainty it is tempting to keep with what is known. Publishing and digital technology is flying along. Information is becoming downsized to a tiny hand sized object. The economic landscape is riven with change. Where is the certainty? But the head line of Tuesday’s Advertiser states that we are to explore the spirit of giving. Not in the spirit of flinging gift wrapped socks under the Christmas tree. But in the spirit of giving compassion to each other. Negotiating change will need more than simplistic mantra’s of cut spending and tighten your belts. We in fact need to give more, more time, more understanding, and more compassion.
