Here is a thought, look in your closet, is there a coat you don't wear anymore.....donate it, do you have some extra cash, a christmas bonus maybe, donate to your local foodbank, be fruitful this season, share what you have and even what you don't have, for greatest give of all is love, and whatever you do this season, you have love to give and to share, spread it near and far and watch as angels shine down upon you and fill your heart with joy. YOU, can be light in someone elses life this year and in turn you may find light in yours. Sad and lonely as this time of year may be for some, remember, there are those that have far less than you, and sadness that fills their lives is lack of daily survival necessities. Give hilariously, laugh in face of sadness for happiness and joy comes from sharing with others. Share your heart and your love and whatever else you can give, for whatever you give, you will get in return.

"We not only live among men, but there are airy hosts, blessed spectators, sympathetic lookers-on, that see and know and appreciate our thoughts and feelings and acts." Henry Ward Beecher

Happy Holidays To All and may blessings of season fill your life, your heart and your home.
