Gifts

To love something so much that on the worst day you will still miss it is a gift.

It is so easy to love when everything is perfect, but the true test of love is to see if it still exists when everything goes all wrong.

When the weather is gray and gloomy, or the food is a disappointment...when you cut your foot and it hurts to walk...when the family is bickering... these things can become the focal point for some people.

Luckier ones find beauty in the moments that sneak in between all the mundane ones.

A walk on the beach with a loved one, a painting emerging from the soul of a new born painter, even waking up next to someone you love with the sound of the ocean surrounding you, these are gifts.

I hope I always seek the true gifts in life.
