It
Came Upon a Midnight Clear
"O ye, beneath life's crushing load, whose forms are bending low, Who toil
along the climbing way with painful steps and slow
Look now for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing
O rest beside the weary road and hear the angels sing."
Christmas 2010 brings
the promise of hope.
As I move through this life I learn many lessons.
I suppose the most important is to enjoy the moment.
Recent
years have been full of dramatic change.
With the advent
of social media,
whole new ways of developing and maintaining relationships
have
grown, almost overnight. I am now able to stay in touch daily with friends in
Norway,
Venezuela and Brazil, and enjoy the family joys in real time.
To me, Christmas is a time of peace and reflection.
It is the one time of
year where we can count our blessings, and resolve to alter course where we can.
I am
looking forward to a joyous Christmas Season.
