Reflections: Words Have Weight…
“Be careful of the words you say, keep them short and sweet. You never know, from day to day, which ones you’ll have to eat.” Anonymous
Reflections: Words Have Weight... Be Mindful of what you say...
Every day we engage in all sorts of conversations; casual and serious exchanges that are filled with thoughts, ideas, back talk, innuendo and even promises. We use words carefully and sometimes carelessly too. As we wrap up the year and, in some quarters, if tempers flare, it would be wise to be mindful of our words and use them sparingly. Even as we prepare our wish list of resolutions for the coming year, let us weigh our words and make sure that we stand by what we say… otherwise the entire effort would be pointless. No? Where do you find strength? In addition to our spiritual beliefs and our own strength, there is great strength in silence… and reflection. Sometimes, we must swim away. Sometimes, saying less is best.
Musings: Merry Christmas Wishes…
“Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.” Calvin Coolidge

The Christmas Song – (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) with Nat King Cole
How did you spend your Christmas day? By the time you read this, most of our Christmas celebrations would have been completed and all the merriment filed away for another year. I hope you got what you wished for and that all your heartfelt dreams for this special day came to pass. My wish is that we continue to appreciate the birth of Christ and the love of our family and friends… World peace for all too. That would suffice. What’s the best holiday gift you’ve ever received? For me? I’d say the gift of life and sharing a Christmas meal and time with my family. I’ve added lyrics to the favorite carol you see above and also a video and lyrics to Have Yourself A Merry Christmas below. More below. 😉
The Christmas Song – (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) by Mel Tormé and Robert Wells
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping on your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,
Help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa’s on his way;
He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
And every mother’s child is going to spy,
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
And so I’m offering this simple phrase,
To kids from one to ninety-two,
Although its been said many times, many ways,
A very Merry Christmas to you

A Simple Request…
Dearest Santa,
Thank you for the blessings you showered on us this year. Thank you for the new friends and fresh opportunities. We are all grateful… My wish for the coming year is more goodwill, grace and abundance in the world, and less misery, meanness and scarcity!
Please don’t mix these two up like you did last year! 🙂
With love & gratitude to all,
xoxo
