This Christmas has already given me my heart's desire; I would've never dared hope for the amazing gift of presence I've been given. The feeling in my heart and soul is all sparklers and light and champagne bubbles, yeah that sums it up nicely. I've always felt that the spirit of Christmas resided in me all year round, because not a lot gives me greater joy than giving from my heart and seeing the look on someones face when they open a gift or care package as I call them. I read a book called the 5 Love Languages and if I understand it right the way I communicate my love is by Acts of Service however the way I feel loved is by, words of affirmation, quality time and physical touch in that order by my test scores. I think I enjoy volunteering so much because I feel I am doing something for my community and my fellow humankind, as it is my goal to make my little part of the world a better place than I found it. At this time of year with all that has happened, and as we close the year I am grateful for all the challenges that have arisen that showed me I was capable of overcoming them, and the lesson I learned is that not all things are as difficult as they first appear, and just because someone isn't there everyday for me doesn't mean they aren't present in my life or desire in their heart to be there for me. and that is what is most important to me.
