Description

I shot this a my Boss's annual Xmas party, at his family business, Galvin Painting.. A true Giver, all year round.. I've learned so much, bout, life and living, WANTING vs HAVING.. and here you see Bill, sitting, spirit being fed, jus watching the kids of his crews, and his crews, open their gifts, all distributed by Joe, his son.. Bill is overpaid in joy, from giving this day, and thru out the year, from Xtreme Home Makeover, to, Women's shelters, and Homeless facilities, he sends his crews out to give back, and in the act of his giving.. Galvin Painting, still thrives in these Trudging times.. Something, maybe our Political reps, and corporate 1% might be able to learn from as well.
So, The thing I want, is simply not to want and jus be into HAVING, and enjoy, those little ones getting what they want..Right here right now, I'm enjoying my GIFT, THE PRESENT NOW
