This Christmas I received one of the best gifts ever — but not in the way you might think. Let me explain…
When I opened the package, there was a ‘coupon’ for a performance of Mozart’s Requiem — one of my three favorite classical pieces ever! I was ‘over the moon’ ecstatic — the Requiem at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra? How would I ever wait until March?! Then we learned the performance was actually sold out. I don’t understand how that happened but what I do understand is the best gift of all — my beloved sees me and knows me and she picked the perfect gift: the gift of being seen and loved for who I am and to me that is the greatest gift of all…
Bright, shiny objects!
