THAT TIME OF YEAR

That time of year:
1. Whether happy or sad, good or bad, you reflect on the past.
2. Whether filled with excitement, or overcome with dread, you look into the future.
3. When you are grateful for what you have.
4. When you mourn what you have lost.
5. When the joys of family are celebrated.
6. When the pain of being alone is truly felt.
7. When you think so much about your own predicament, you are forced to think about the predicament of others.

So don't deny the annual ritual, but take stock, take a deep breath, and love those you love. And love those you don't even know.

And most of all, be grateful that you can.

May the end of this year, be filled with as much love, joy and peace as you are hoping for in the next.

Egghead, back you are to blogging you are. Very curious your silence is.
Your sharing of knowledge inspires even those who inspire.

Egghead,

Thinking you know me you are. Games of guessing please begin. Happy am I to play along.

Begin, please.

No Joseph. If I were truly wise, then I would not enter such games.

Though, venturing your Yoda-speak, one might presume that you are a man, and not a woman. then again, Yoda has many followers of all stripes.

That's fine. I am happy to have a reader, in any case.
