A truly thoughtful gift

A friend of mine, knowing of my emotional state these days, brought me a truly thoughtful Christmas card.

What makes this so extraordinary is that he really does not understand why I am so distraught, so anxious and afraid, but wanted to let me know that he and his family were ready to help and, well, just be there. That was the real gift.

And it's what I must keep in mind and heart - people come first, politics second.

I take strength and comfort from a quote from the classic novel The Plague by Camus:



 "...what we learn in a time of pestilence: that there are more things to admire in men than to despise."

Here's wishing you PEACE FAMILY & FRIENDSHIP for the holidays and HOPE for the New Year.  Take care.

  4. Hello, thank you for visiting my blog today. My comment on 5 Acres and a Dream was made after some thought. Usually making an opposing comments results in a more extreme response of many more words. And that is what happened today. Oh well, we all have our opinions. My opinion is based on science so I am comfortable with that position. Take care and stay well and yes...VOTE! At least half our problems will be solved with new leadership.

  5. I love the Camus quote. I love another of his quotes: "In the depths of winter, I finally learned that inside me there lay an invincible summer." May it be true for us all.
