Merry Christmas, Dear Ones

   Wishing you all a Merry Christmas.  As we prepare for this special day,  remember to reach out to each other.  That smile at a stranger, or the little bit of help reaching something from a high shelf for a vertically challenged shopper has a huge and positive impact.
     I am a person who hates shopping (ironic with the job I have) but I love going to the store the day or two before Christmas.  Everyone is so helpful.  We were in Walmart yesterday.  I needed to get more vanilla extract and tee shirts.  I went into the baking supply aisle - which was very crowded.   I overheard a woman searching for condensed milk.  Having just passed it, I told her where it was.  Her husband saw me scanning the shelves, and asked what I was looking for, then told me the vanilla was back where I had just sent his wife.  It is the little bits of communication that make this such a special time.  The tiny moments, not the presents, are what we will remember.
    Family, friends, and memories can help everyone have a better holiday season.
   Wishing you all friendship, and love, and days of laughter, and moments of quiet.

PEACE
