I hope the new year has been kind to each of you so far. Prayerfully, we will all make it through this year with beautiful stories to tell and many memories to store for safekeeping. I am sure we will need all the happiness we can get as time hurries on and 2025 turns into 2026 and beyond. Peace and blessings.

Happiest of Holidays To You & Yours!

holiday spirits
fester in the winter breeze
money’s not the cause

missions accomplished
all across the globe last night
poor old Santa Claus

blended families
tackle the hard questions now
no more pressing pause

soothsayers bend words
only to save broken hearts
we all have our flaws

To those of you who celebrate, may this Christmas be full of love, joy, strength, and peace for you and yours. I wish you the moon and its powerful glow, too.
