Giving and receiving

Hello all!  Are you all ready for the big day!.  Well I've never been so far behind with Christmas.  But I am sure it will all come together in the end and we will be eating our  lunch some time on Christmas day!  Miss you Mark,  one of my favourite cooks in all the world. ( Miriam is the other one).

Christmas  got me thinking about success and what it means.  To some it the big job, the big house, the flashy car and everything good thing you could wish for materially.  To others its all things spiritual and I guess most of us mere mortals fall somewhere in the middle. 

We often ponder "Why are we here?  What is our purpose?"  I think the answer might be to know ourselves as well as it is possible to do so.  Then to go out there and behave towards others as we would wish them to behave towards us.  There is a quote from St. Francis of Assisi that goes something like "for it is in giving that we receive",  I think we say "What goes around, comes around".  Well , give out as much love, care and consideration this Christmas Season as you can and throughout the whole of 2010 and beyond .  I think you might be surprised how happy you will be!

I wish for you all Joy,  Happiness and Peace
