Tis the Season

 "Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love." -Hamilton Wright Mabie (1846-1916)

 This was a nostalgic week. Connecting and reconnecting with kindred spirits  all over the world. I am so blessed, so fortunate to have these people in my life. They are like family. From all walks of life. All corners of the earth to mine. Each Christmas/Advent  just gets better, in more ways than one. Through good years and  challenging years, and those years in between......tis the season.

 "You wanted a peaceful, comfortable Christmas, with all reminders of poverty,injustice, or other people's griefs well out of sight, so as not to disturb your pleasure.
