More than we know what to do With



We all sorely complain of the shortness of time,
and yet have much more than we know what to do with.
Our lives are either spent in doing nothing at all,
or in doing nothing to the purpose,
or in doing nothing that we ought to do.
We are always complaining that our days are few,
and acting as though there would be no end of them.

Seneca the Elder

presents.

It is not a matter of being present with someone.
It is a matter of being present to someone.




Thank you, Jamie. Jen. Mer. Teri. Spring. M&D. Listening is everything.

I still believe in Santa ...


I still believe in Santa Claus. He is embodied in each of us as we give gifts, appreciate each other and love one another. He's responsible for smiles you see when a child gets that special gift, when you compliment someone just because, when you smile whether or not someone returns that smile, when you catch up with an old friend, and when you take the time to appreciate your family and friends. Otherwise known as the seasons greetings, the Christmas (or Holiday) spirit, Santa is there when a child who thought they wouldn't get anything does. His hand takes a part in that feeling when you receive a card or call from someone unexpectedly. He is embodied in each and everyone of us. As the holiday season is upon us, reaccess your beliefs. Believe in Santa - he is very real.
