Once Again It's Christmas

Like snowflakes
floating gently,
unexpectedly to earth, 

small kindnesses touch our lives. 

First one and then another and another,

until at last the world is bright and shining with goodwill.

And once again it's Christmas.

May the spirit and beauty of the season shine in your heart and remain with you throughout the New Year. 

"December" is a recording that I play for myself every year at this time, beginning on Thanksgiving morning and on through the holiday season. I was introduced to the album years ago by one of my nearest and dearest friends, and it warms my heart to know that for all these years, we share across the miles what has become for both of us a holiday tradition in our extended families. I share it with my readers now, in hopes that it brings each of you a measure of peace and healing to your broken hearts.

From my heart to yours . . .
