"I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year."
                                    ~ Charles Dickens

Me too, Mr. Dickens. I will surely try. For me that means fostering child-like joy, wonderment, and love. 

Dear Friends,

We've all experienced so much in recent years and through all our years. Our child-like joy, wonderment, and readiness to love and be loved may have been diminished.

But the essence of the pure, innocent, vulnerable child is still within every one of us. And, we can renew it. 

My Christmas wish for you, for me, for all of us, is that all the hurt in our hearts is comforted and healed, that our faith, hope, and love are renewed, and that we recognize the inherent gifts within us and use them with gratitude, wisdom, and grace. 

Wishing you good health, dreams, and fun, too. And blessings upon all your loved ones!

Merry Christmas!
