I once bought my kids a set of batteries for Christmas with a note on it saying, toys not included. - Bernard Manning
The holiday crazies have set in for most of us, myself included. I just wanted to give pause and remind myself what it is all about. Regardless of our religious backgrounds, the end of a year heralds a time of reflection, family, feuds, reconciliation, surprises, and disappointments. Emotions are high and fluctuating. Through it all I hope the common thread that connects all of us remain intact. Our humanity and spirit allows us to feel and to entertain these thoughts and feelings.
My wish is that we all acknowledge each of our own essence and its reflection on this world. I hope our human nature rises to the occasion and that peace and tolerance rules while pettiness and greed is allowed to wither.
Let us all give thanks for what is special to us. Each of us governs our own decisions; what we accept as truth and what we acknowledge in this life. I’d like to entertain the thought of giving more than what is expected and showing those we love how precious they are.
I wish you gentle reader health, prosperity, and the blessings of a close circle of family and friends.
Namaste~
