Yesterday, my life-long friend Barbara and I met for lunch and we gave each other gifts. Those gifts included lunch, sunglasses, great conversation, praise, appreciation, support, validation, honesty, hugs, and acknowledgements of the importance of our friendship.
I now offer you the gifts of the photos from yesterday:
Michael, who is a gift to me, gave the board members of the Northeastern Society for Group Psychotherapy the gift of those strombolis last night.
What’s the best gift you’ve ever gotten? What’s the best gift you’ve ever given?
I’m also going to offer my readers the gift of a guessing game. The photos, above, show my Mother’s Day gift from a family member. You can give me the gift of your guesses in the comments section, below.
As I look forward to the gift of another day on this earth, here‘s the “Simple Gifts” section from Aaron Copland‘s Appalachian Spring, conducted by Leonard Bernstein.
I end each post with the gift of gratitude. Many thanks to all who helped me create today’s blog and — of course! — to you, my readers (who are always a gift to me).
