Every year about this time, I realize I’m not really in the market for presents any more. I’m fortunate enough to be able to purchase all the stuff I need and lot of what I want, so I’m not turning to a wish list to fill out those items.
What I long for more and more as the time goes on, though, is presence. I want to be with my husband and my kids. I want to spend quality time with my parents. I want to hang out with my sister and her family. I want to make sure I see my friends, near and far.
Presence is the priority. That’s on my wish list.
