“Attention is the purest form of generosity.” — Simone Weil I mentioned this on @cbsmornings while we were talking about holiday stress. When @gayleking, @tonydokoupil, and @nateberkus asked about managing both stress and finances, I had plenty of practical tips ready. Then mid-sentence it hit me: the most valuable present we can offer isn’t something we buy. It’s our attention. We chase the “perfect gift,” but what people want most is free — our full presence. This season, when you’re with someone you love, treat every moment like a gift. Phone down. Eyes up. A smile, a nod, a quiet I see you, I hear you, I’m with you. I share this quote and more about presence and deepening relationships in Practical Optimism. #optimism #practicaloptimism
