You know most of us think about gifts being something spectacular:  something like a diamond ring or cash rewards or a trip to somewhere nice.  But the best gift of all is something that most take for granted everyday.  It is the gift of cognizant thought.  Sure we do some things by rote but there are times when we must make intelligent decisions.  Those stupendous feats of intelligence are not even what I’m speaking of, but they rank right up there at the top, if you think about it.  No, I’m talking about the quiet times when you have the ability to wonder.  

 
The gift of wonder is mind-blowing if you really think about it.  That’s the time that you have all to yourself or if you are a medium, you share with about a hundred thousand or more other souls.  But that quiet time is the most marvelous of all.  You can remember items you have read or events you have mastered along life’s highway and you can savor each on your own terms. 

 
Quiet thoughts give you the time to make decisions or not.  Listening to your own mind’s chatter can sometimes solve all your problems or can give you the ability to help someone you love. 

 
When I use that time for myself, my ghostly friends try to walk quietly around me too, sort of like when you are in a library.  No one wants to disturb other readers.  It’s kind of funny really.  But that is the respect I get from my otherworldly friends when I’m using the wonderful gift of thought.  Come to think about it, that’s one of my favorite gifts.
