This morning I read an article by Meryl Gwinn in my local newspaper.  A friend was quoted as saying, “We have no right to stress ourselves out; to live any way less than in joyful appreciation.”  As our busy lives get busier during this upcoming holiday season, may we all take time to consider the wonder around us:  friends, family, children, and creation.  May our hearts be filled with thanks and enjoyment as we press on through our days.

“The doors of wisdom are never shut.”  Benjamin Franklin
