Being busy seems to make time race by, and every year I am somehow surprised to find that the winter holidays are happening around me. Our jelly sales are full speed ahead, a sure sign of celebrations and gift-giving, and keeping us busy, busy every day. Hanukkah was last week, and Winter Solstice, Christmas, and Kawanzaa , as well as others, are almost here. As busy as it is, I love this time of year and the many, diverse ways we celebrate our better selves. If we could all somehow keep the warm feelings and caring attitudes alive the remainder of each year, the world could be a wonderful place. It's a big dream, and I invite each of you to join me in focusing your positive energy and attitudes toward making and keeping the world a caring and safe environment for everyone. May peace be with you through the holidays and into the coming new year.
