Finding that perfect present is like finding parking at a busy shopping mall on the weekend before Christmas. It’s more often than not a painful process.
The many choice available today in stores and online make finding that special something more difficult.
There is however one priceless gift that everyone longs for and needs but is somehow in very short supply these days – our presence, time and attention.
We have unfortunately chosen to live our lives on autopilot, constantly distracted by things around us be it work, play, entertainment, social media, etc. and forgotten how to be present to each other for a real conversations to take place and relationships to grow.
Presents vs Presence?
Rather than buying more stuff, why not set aside time to do something together and grace each other with the most precious gift we can give – our presence.
“If you love someone, the greatest gift you can give them is your presence.” – Thich Nhat Hanh
