Gifts

The most seemingly simple things can be the greatest gifts.  A moment of time.  A smile.  A shared thought.  A laugh.  A hug.  Just little things that can make hard days easier.  That can make difficult times possible.  The best kinds of gifts are not picked up at stores.  They are given from the heart.  They come from knowing someone and seeing them.  It can even be the gift of letting go.  Of moving on.  Of forgiving.  Of taking the time to remember good moments.  Of being able to share difficult things.  The best gift in the world is relationship.  Without it, the most expensive baubles and bling have very little meaning.  With it, the most simple things mean everything.
I have been given many kinds of gifts.  Tonight was one of the best.  A moment of calm in the midst of my hurricane.  It sure helped me. 
grace to you.
