Today is December 21, 2010,... the first day of winter and four days before Christmas. As keeping with the season, it has snowed leaving a beautiful blanket of white fluffy topping which enhances our vision and enthusiasm for this time of year. So what is your favorite part of this holiday season? Is it the decorating and the baking? The children and their eagerness for the jolly old elf to arrive? Is it the Christmas pageant at church or the cantata? Or is it having family and friends that bring the magic to your holiday? I think it is all of the above. It is our belief system and what the season represents. The Christmas star that graces the evergreen and the manger's prestigious place on the mantle. It is Christmas morning (or noon in most cases) when the family arrives all excited to see what is under the tree; to see what delicious food awaits their arrival, and to show everyone what they received earlier that morning in the form of gifts. It is singing happy birthday to a very special baby renewing the reason for the season. It is thanking our Greater Being for all the blessings in our lives.
So today before I sign off, I want to thank each and every one of you for visiting my blog, sharing your insights, and being a friend to someone needing your support. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas. May you be blessed with peace and love this holiday season.

A Penny For Your Thoughts
Napolean Hill said, "Thoughts are things and that whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, he will achieve. Think well and you will grow rich." Did you realized that everything in the world starts with a single thought? The Declaration of Independence started with a thought as did the automobile, the TV, the computer, and something as simple as a candle. The mind is incapable of not thinking and it is estimated that a person can have as many as 50,000+ thoughts per day. Perhaps this is where the saying, "A Penny For Your Thoughts" came from....imagine how much money one could make from just thinking without effort?
Today my thoughts embrace the beauty of the snowfall which enhances the holiday season. I laugh at the dog who tries to catch the snowflakes in her mouth; I relish the peace that encompasses my being; I enjoy the laughter the first snowfall brings to neighborhood children; and the beauty which graces the earth. The simplest thoughts make life rich.
