I have several thoughts running around in my mind about the season we are in and the one that we are entering. I just cannot manage to get enough time to get all these thoughts out of my head. So, for right now, I am going to direct you to some reading I have done recently on giving, generosity, and rethinking the holidays. Please visit my friends and see what they have to say.

This is most kind of you!
I may be a bit comment-impaired in the next few days. My laptop has had a nervous breakdown (am borrowing my son’s old but steadfast desktop, which I now relinquish to him and his homework). A fine example of his generosity.
I do love this season… especially when we step outside our heads, and thing of all we have – that has nothing to do with “stuff” whatsoever.
Happy holiday season.
BigLittleWolf – it must be the season of computers having issues. We have heard from #2 whose laptop is in pieces as he tries to fix it and #4 whose laptop does not hold a charge so is like a desktop. Me, I just continue without a laptop unless I borrow one.
You expressed thoughts I wish I had put to paper, so to speak. Wonderful writing.
