True Gifts

When the king’s men finally find a happy man, they learn that he has no shirt.

This holiday season this story brings to mind all of the intangibles to be grateful for.

   For family.

   For friendship.

   For kindness.

   For helpfulness.

   For silliness and laughter.

   For shared struggles and shared successes.

   For comfort and for convenience.

   For wonder and mystery.

   For the beauty of nature.

   For love and for joy.

   For…you fill in the blank.

While we can give thanks for things too, the no-thing that transcends all things is everything.

Happy Holidays.
