Even in these times of turmoil - wars, polarization, and negative outbursts the "Christmas" spirit apparently still lives. And I'm happy it does. While in a coffee shop the other day, I started a conversation with a person who was awaiting their double cappa latte with a twist. We both shared pleasantries and a couple of laughs enjoying the good feelings and the spirit of the season.

All of us need to let the spirit of the holiday permeate our life. It pays to be kind and thoughtful.

I wish you and yours a safe, healthy, and happy Christmas, Kwanza, or whatever you're celebrating :-)
