We know what our sweet niece Bella wants for Christmas, (her two front teeth! ;-) and now we ask, what is it you and your loved ones want for the holiday you celebrate in December? Is it world peace? The love of family and friends? A larger family and more friends? A life with less complexity? A life with less responsibility? Sleep???? Maybe just a life with more laughter! The universal desire for the health and welfare of our family members may not escape your thoughts. How about a chance to go back...or maybe a chance to move forward. How about to right a wrong? Make a connection? Disconnect? Maybe you just want the time to enjoy what you already have. Either way, this holiday season - no matter what you celebrate, there is the universal desire to love and be loved. And in the very real possibility that you will find that cheesy, we still unabashedly say that love is one of the greatest gifts to give and receive -- now or ever. A lot of people forget that around this time of year. On the other hand, many don't. Hey, if you've ever knocked on death's door and earned the chance to run away before it was answered, you get why love matters most. If you've ever had all the material things you can possibly have but still felt bereft of the language of love, you get why it matters most. If you've ever loved or been loved, you get it. That intangible doesn't cost a thing and yet it's reward is so intrinsically sweet. Striving for this intangible sometimes makes us realize how sweet life can be in all its extraordinary simplicity.
