15 DECEMBER 2010

It is the season to be with family and friends. Enjoy their company and open your heart and mind so they would enjoy being with you.

Think of those who may need you and extend to them a thoughtful sign -- a note, a whisper, a phone call, a practical demonstration of support; anything to indicate that they are cared for as they care for you.

All of us will naturally recall our loved ones, particularly those who passed away in their prime. We miss them all, much as we know that somewhere, somehow, they remain with us.

Have a happy holiday and a successful prosperous peaceful New Year.
