From The Desk Of The Universe

A reminder, given to me:

Those places where you feel at home, and can be yourself?  Gifts.
Those people that make you feel at home, let you be yourself?  Also gifts.
The love that you have in your life?  Gift beyond price.

Respect the gifts.  Enjoy them in the spirit in which they are given, respond with gifts of your own.

Above all, give like your life depends on it.  Because?

It does.

    The directions on your comment box direct me to tell you what is in my heart... My heart says that such gifts are valuable beyond all else. They should never be forgotten, forsaken or presupposed. They must be honored.

    These are the truly important things for everyone from the president down to someone living on the street. If you don’t have the people in your life that give it meaning then your life will be more empty that you can possible know.

    What a great reminder!
    Also? It's my little brother's birthday today. He was an "oopsie" little miracle (my mom was not able to get pregnant, adopted 2 kids, got preggers at 38!) and has been a great gift of incomparable worth.

    Awesome.
    Thanks :)

    It does.

    The most precious gift one can give to another is love.

    The most precious gift one can accept from another is love.
