The Gift of Time

I’m a simple woman. I like the simple things in life. I find joy in a sunrise or sunset, in a quiet moment with sunshine, snow or the wind and being near the ocean or a river. My heart can swell listening to a favorite song and one of my favorite sounds is to listen to my friends and family laugh.

Through all the years of my life, I have realized a very important thing. What means the most to me is to spend time with someone I care about. Time is the most precious gift we can give someone. And I am honored when those I love or care about choose to share theirs with me.

Life is not a dress rehearsal. We only get one shot at life. No do-overs. Knowing that perspective, I value it even more when those I treasure choose to share their time with me.

That gift is the best I have or will ever receive.

Until next time.
