Day 9: A Gift

 

Today, I am grateful for the gift of words.  I don't want to embarrass anyone in particular, so I won't get too specific with this one, but my most treasured gifts from my spouse, from my kids, and from friends, are written words that show that they know me well and value me.  

I'm also grateful when someone goes to the trouble of putting together a scrapbook of memories or a collection of pictures - these are also a favorite kind of gift.  When I have a bad day, these are the kind of gifts that help buffer the storm.
