The Gift I cannot give.

I'm sure there is a gift each and every one of us would like to give which we are unable to.

The Holiday Season seems to bring out the best (and worst) in people pushing emotions and the desire for happiness to extremes. The search for happiness during a time when it is supposed to come naturally, flowing from every corner bakery and toy store is often not found with material things as you grow older.

The friendships and family with which we are blessed to have are where the happiness comes from, and though we may want to give people things, the truth is we have received and distributed our gifts year round. In the smiles we've created and the love given and received. I'm sure you give to your sister, every day, a sense of love and a smile to her face. Making a person feel "real" and important to you, and to other people is a gift that is often overlooked, but sorely missed when not there.

Do not dwell on the things that have been taken unfairly from you or your loved ones. Dwell on all you've received from them, as they think the same, whether they realize it or not.

Happy Holidays, and save a little Mistletoe for one of those cute girls!
