“I do like Christmas on the whole...In its clumsy way, it does approach Peace and Goodwill. But oh, it is clumsier every year.” ~E.M. Forster
I borrowed a quote here because my own words are clumsy. I am not quite sure how to wish a Merry Christmas to everyone in my life, agnostics, atheists, Buddhists, Christians, Jews, Muslims... neighbors, friends around the globe and “otherworldly kindred spirits” or that convivial little dog named Linda on the street where I live and that I am pretty sure is a giant rat. You are all a part of my daily life in this melting pot of a planet we call home.
So, interpret this as you see fit, it is said with love, Happy Holidays.

May the airing of grievances commence! I promised no more rants this month, (can't wait 'till January) so I'm out. See you Ms. Edna at the celebrations and rejoicings...

My original plan to spend a week in Paris has bloomed into a few weeks -with a traveling companion who is as adventurous as you….c’est bon!
What a beautiful thought.

Nicolas Boileau captured it beautifully-
“Hurry… slowly,
one hundred times go back to your intent and strengthen it.”
Happy Christmas and New Year Ms. Edna
from "all of us."
At Christmas little children sing and merry bells jingle,
The cold winter air makes our hands and faces tingle
And happy families go to church and cheerily they mingle
And the whole business is unbelievably dreadful, if you're single.
Christmas is…
a pause,
understanding,
faith,
and grace.
Christmas is…
early springtime of the spirit.
Christmas is…
renewal and joy.
Christmas is…
a beautiful idea.
Now my Christmas is complete!
Thank you, Ms. E.
