Then I began to tell him exactly what I hoped he’d bring me this Christmas. You might guess I asked for world peace and an end to hunger and
strife everywhere, plus I asked for a termination to
debilitating diseases and poverty. Indeed I joyously requested these good things for the world, but my "want" list was long
and very personal. It was mostly about me.
I asked for:
- Patience:
the thing I lack the most and need unequivocally - The ability to forgive unconditionally, without consideration
for the magnitude of the wrong
- Loyalty to my friends so they know they can always
count on me
- The vulnerability to show my transparent, genuine and
sincere side without worrying about how I'm coming
across
- Loving kindness for all living things
- An abundant generosity for random acts of kindness
as well as giving for the more visible needs
- Loving friends who accept me as I am, foibles and all
- And, finally, that which I continuously seek: self-love
and respect for all my imperfect perfection.
My list is not small, as you can see. What is your list? And how will you be your own Santa?
