Happy Holidays

By Commentary No Comments

I got very preoccupied with a number of matters leading up to the holiday and wasn’t able to keep up my posting schedule and I failed to get a holiday post out!!

So I am slightly making up for it now by wishing that you all had a relaxing Christmas and are enjoying this lull before New Year’s Day and then the dreaded return to work and winter.  I hope you all can find what is important in life and take pleasure in that and do you best to ignore those items that cause you unhappiness.  Most of all, I hope you find joy in the company of friends and family.
