I was compassionate with myself today during a trip to town. It's Christmas shopping season and I can't think of a single thing to buy anyone. It might be tempting to be impatient with myself but I have resisted the urge.

I think not wanting to buy yet more stuff for people who don't really need it is sensible. I will particpate in the gift buying but will aim to keep low key and useful in my choices. Go me!!
