Gift - This month, gifts and gift-giving can seem inescapable. What’s the most memorable gift, tangible or emotional, you received this year? I'm no good at picking favorites or the "most" something. Never have been. How can I pick one thing definitively over another? The kids try to play this game with me. "What's your favorite color?" The red of a rose, the white of the snow, the green of moss, the color of my children's eyes. One favorite? "What's your favorite food?" Depends on my mood. Depends if it's dinner, desert, who it's prepared by. And why pick one? There are so many moments in every day. So much good in the world. Why pick? I appreciate every gift I have received this year whether tangible and/or emotional. Every single one. I have had many a memorable moment and emotional high. I refuse to lessen any one over another. I am thankful for every breath I take, every friend I make. I refuse to play favorites.

Quite right, great response.
Your so right on! Why choose just one? Everyday brings new "favorites" whether it be loving words, smiles, hugs, etc. Thank you for being "one" of mine. Happy New Year to you and your family.
I agree that it is hard to pick one of anything. It does change with weather, moods, etc. Happy New Year!!! Hugs Karen
ooh...i love how you appreciate every gift you've received this year. wonderful. when we look at it that simply...our breath is the greatest gift of all! in addition to that i would have to say the two greatest gifts for me were mentioned on my blog today...being with my grandma when she passed and the birth of my son. the cycle of life continues...
Oh my gosh, you are so right! Why do we need to have any one favourite when there are so many good things in the world? I love this point of view.
