Great Gifts of Being Human

Room service

Climate control (heat on a cold night and AC on a hot day)

Utensils

Shoes in a shapes, sizes and styles

Conceptualizing language, time and space

By the way, can I go back to room service?

When mom lives 1200 miles away and let's face it, your 30 now so you probably shouldn't call mom to whine when your tummy aches or your head hurts (because face it, she has a life) - WHAT CAN YOU DO when you don't feel well?

If you happen to be staying in a great hotel with room service then you have all the benefits of a fussy mom. Think about it - ice cream in bed, delivered.
If your tummy aches then ask for chicken soup and a pot of tea.

One of the great gifts of being human is probably having a mom. And when she's far away or otherwise occupied, try room service as an indulgent substitute. (Just don't tell my mom that room service might replace her. She wouldn't appreciate the thought.)

This week I treated a migraine headache with a squishy hotel mattress, 4 Tylenol and room service. I feel like new again.

What great gifts have you been sharing?
