SPLINTERS FOR DECEMBER 2024

  1. December has many days of remembrance. Some are moments of sadness like Pearl Harbor and others honor those suffering devastating illness.
    • What would you write in a letter to any of those touched by these days?
    • Or, perhaps you’d rather write a poem?

    • What does this bring to your mind? Do you celebrate?
    • Do you have a Solstice memory to share?
  3. There are several religious and semi-religious holidays in December.
    • Why not write a prayer or mediation of your own for one of these: Bodhi Day, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas?
    • Or, write predictions or a letter to yourself facing New Year 2026, a year ahead? What do you think that you would have to say? Or do you have advice for those facing 2025?
  4. There is more than one gift giving day this month.
    • How do you plan for gift giving? Any tips?
    • What is the best gift you ever received? Why?

SPLINTERS FOR NOVEMBER 2024

  1. November presents us with more than one day for remembering.
    1. Begins with a remembrance of the dead (All Souls’ Day) and ends with Day of Mourning (for workers injured/killed on the job). Have you any thoughts to share?
    2. Late in the month Thanksgiving challenges us to think good thoughts. What are you grateful for?
    3. What do you feel about how television reminds of anniversaries of events, usually tragedies?
    4. Finally, we are asked to think of Native American Heritage. Do you have any connections with this lineage? How do you think we can best celebrate this topic?
  2. Day for Tolerance and Unfriend Day both occur this month.
    1. Any comments on this coincidence?
    2. Have you ever unfriended anyone? How did that go? What were your reasons?
    3. How do you define tolerance? How important do you think it is?
  3. World Unique Talent Day offers us an upbeat topic to consider. Can you share with us/the world a tale that reveals what you consider an example of a unique talent?
