U call this too, a Gift?

We worry about life so much so that we fail to see and partake in its privileges.
How then should we say, we live, when we are blind to the platform in which it presents itself?
It's just like, giving all admiration to the content in a box wrapped as a gift and non to the paper box and beautifully designed wrap and the ribbons. I am sure most people hardly remember colors of ribbons that mildly hold the pack of gifts they had received. Not even the one loosed three hours ago!
Who cares? U may say it's not worth much compared to the gift itself.
Is it?
Did I hear you correctly? Oh, I am sure I did. You said NO!
But well, I disagree. Yeah, you heard me! I totally disagree. Although, of a lesser worth (monetarily). They are as important as the item wrapped. They are what make it special. That beautiful wrist watch u bought last month isn't a gift. Even if your friend gave u some money and said "buy yourself a beautiful wristwatch as a gift", it still isn't a gift!
Whatever it is, be it expensive, it will never give u the thrill you got while opening the box that contained an inexpensive hair pin your little niece saved up to buy for you. Why? You might want to ask the ribbons or the paper wrap, or the love with which it was carefully picked.
What I am trying to convey is this: take time to appreciate what makes a gift, A GIFT.
We most times say: Life is a gift, yet we treat it like an item we bought for ourselves on someone's behalf and the funniest part is that that someone often turns out anonymous.
If you ever find yourself worrying about life as we often do as humans, pause for a while and remind yourself the first fact about life (you need to know what you worry for),
LIFE IS A GIFT! With this few words I welcome you to LITTLE STEPS 2 GREAT WORKS as we stop to appreciate the trivia that sums up to make each day's picture a complete piece.
