Merry Christmas to ALL!!!
I just wanted to drop a note to tell ALL of you that I hope this holiday season is filling your hearts with GREAT JOY and recharging your spirit for all the wonders YET to be bestowed upon you in 2011.
This Christmas, more than ANY other, is giving me pause to reflect on my life and all the blessings that have come my way ... even the days that seemed couldn't be any darker have given way to a light brighter than I ever thought possible ... I am now Grandma Pearl and the JOY I feel is simply immeasurable!!!
To anyone reading this, near or far, 'CHOOSE' to live your life 'HAPPY'...
take time, even just a moment, to smile back at the reflection in the mirror,
be someone that others in need can rely on,
teach your children and those around you that life is NOT meant to be lived in fear,
find time each and every day to share LAUGHTER,
NEVER GIVE UP on your dreams,
and more importantly, PLEASE know that you are NEVER alone.
None of us transition from this world without a few bumps and bruises along the way, but it's what we continue to contribute & learn while we're here that matters most ... and I can't help but believe that we get to take all that love and kindness with us when we go ... so repeat after me ...
Just for today, I will let go of worry.
Just for today, I will let go of anger.
Just for today, I will count my many blessings.
Just for today, I will do my work honestly.
Jut for today, I will be kind to EVERY living creature.
... and so to all of you from all of me,
I SINCERELY WISH NOTHING BUT THE VERY BEST THIS CHRISTMAS FOR YOU & YOUR FAMILIES!!!
God Bless you,
Pearl :)
