Merry Christmas Eve

"So that's what Christmas is really all about," I said.

"Yeah, it's about giving," he replied hugging close to me.

We'd just taken some magnetic letters to the children's librarian at the library we like. We've spent many hours in their children's room. Spelling our names, figuring out how many 3 letter words we can make that start with 'c'. We always play some after we pick out books.

He gets as many books as years he is old. And I get to go with him.

The letters cost me $4 but the lesson will last him a life time.

Merry Christmas.

Words To Live By

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?'
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
Marianne Williamson
