Gifts, given and recieved


I was given the gift of learning that I can’t do it all, a limit, and people to lovingly help remind me of that.
I was given the gift of loving enough to let go.
I was given the gift of Benjamin – and the gift of seeing people care for him that I never would have imagined, the gift of reinvention of family through him, and the financial gift of maternity leave from work.

I gave the gift of life – that sounds high and mighty – but I did.
I gave a gift of a Pandora charm to someone who really really wanted it as a token of my utmost appreciation for her.
I gave the gift of listening to several and gave hugs to others.
