Children at Christmas
This Wednesday’s wisdom comes to us from Laura Ingalls Wilder, the author of the Little House on the Prarie books. Our family celebrates Christmas, but whatever you celebrate at this time of year, I hope that it brings you peace and happiness.
Can You?
For those of you who had magical childhood holidays, can you recreate those for your own family?
For those who have lost loved ones, can you do something this season to honor their memory?
For those who had challenging childhoods, can you reach back into your memory and create the holiday season for which you had wished?
Please know that at this special time of year, I understand that everything is not always easy. My most sincere wish is that you can find childlike joy that will carry you through the coming year. Be well, my friends! Happy Holidays!
