“And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow,
stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons.
It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags.
And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before.
What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store.
What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.”

Dr. Seuss
What is "a little bit more" for me? A roof over my head. A soft bed. People I love. Food to eat. Love in my life. Peace in my heart. The smile of a stranger. Re-connecting with an old friend. Making new friends. Embracing challenges. Gaining strength from challenges. A job I love. Doing what I love. A husband whom I adore. A daughter that is a miracle. Love in my life. Peace in my heart. In my minds eye, the prettiest bow would pale in comparison to the gifts I already have in my life.
