I'll Wish It Early

 Tomorrow may be busy, or not. If it is, I might not have time to wish everyone that visits my blog a Merry Christmas. So, I'll with it now. 

Merry Christmas to all, and though it may not be important, our forecast is for a high temperature in the seventies, heavy fog in the night, and mostly safe travelling conditions. I'll take it. It doesn't feel like the right kind of weather, but is much better than a few decades ago, when everything froze during an Arctic front, even cities had low water pressure - if any - and my ex-sister-in-law's dinner was ruined, when the thawing pipes caused the ceiling to cave in.

And if you've been bad, this is what to expect:

Christmas Along the Path

If age brings only one thing, it brings the realization the path of life is never a boring trip with little scenery. People are met, new places are seen, vistas amaze, and you never return to a place you've been before. It's a journey that ends eventually, but only what we call here, and beyond is only a new journey.

If I had only one piece of advice to offer anyone, it would be to cherish the moment in time we call Christmas. It's so powerful of an event, even wars have stopped to allow the day to be unblemished by greed and hate. It symbolizes all that's good. It demands hope that the evils of the world can eventually end; and the message of Christ is embraced as a lifestyle, instead of a hollow, patronizing effort to control with fear. 

So, tomorrow we have another day where time stands still for many, and their effort for a peaceful day should be respected. It stands as a shining example of what can be achieved, and embracing the moment can only bring good.

Merry Christmas to all that visit. May the day be one that is cast into a happy memory so vivid it lasts for a lifetime.

Merry Christmas to All My Readers and the Bots

I have a lot of things on my mind. Those things are not all good and the last week brought the winds of change that will influence my life forever. Where the changes lead, will not be as important as what they do to me.

So, without elaborating, I wish everyone that happens to wander to this small corner of the internet the best that life can bring and peace of mind. It's not much, but it means more when the sentiment is shared.

Merry Christmas!
