It seems that I am brimming with tears a lot lately. Tears of joy, tears of pain, tears of emotion, tears of pure love.

I am striving for more patience. Patience with my children. Patience with myself.

Here is my Christmas wish list:

-To your enemy, give forgiveness

-To an opponent, give tolerance.

-To a friend, give your heart.

-To a customer, give service.

-To all, give charity.

-To every child, a good example

-To yourself, give respect.
