A bell is no bell ’til you ring it,

A song is no song ’til you sing it,

And love in your heart

Wasn’t put there to stay –

Love isn’t love

‘Til you give it away.

~Oscar Hammerstein

 

There is usually one holiday gift each year that speaks to my heart.  Sometimes it is a handmade card from one of the boys, a silly trinket in my stocking, or that perfect gift that only Santa knew I wanted.

This year,  love came to me in the mail from Camp Sister, Chelsea.  A tangible reminder that I can wrap my hands around, feel the warmth, and bask in the knowledge that I am important to others.  

Today, share with us a photo that reminds you that you too are loved.   It is such a wonderful feeling.

  4. I love that mug and it would be a perfect gift for someone…do you know or could you find out where I could purchase it? What a fantastic gift!

  13. sadly, i don't have a picture (yet) but this year my stocking was quite stuffed with pashmina scarves. i LOVE scarves – all different kinds and all different colours – but am still somewhat picky. he had bought some in the past and they were sweet and thoughtful, but didn't really say much. this year, though, WOAH! Three of them! In the most fantastic colours too! I draped them all around and wore them all for most of the day – much to the amusement of everyone else. Just when I thought he might not pull through with the 'aha' gift this year, he surprised me.
