Dear Readers

The upcoming holiday season is upon us.

I want you to consider a moment. It is the creative Charlie Brown like holiday. The sweetness of laughter at thoe table.Playing cards with a crazy hat you have made.

It is a moment. It does not always have to be Hollywood with perfect pictures and an expensive set.
It can bowl filled with leaves and a wonderful prepared meal with sweet moments.

I grew up with those moments. It was small places but filled with big love. Sometimes, it was drama but it all came together when we sat at the table. There were times it was loud and a headache but you still was glad you went.

Most of all, it is gratitude...It is the moments of being to have your health or as much your health as possible. It is being able to have your family. It is having the small things>

It is moment. I love them. To see my kid was always cheats at cards, to take what we have and make a meal in zany way but I do stick with some of the tradions.

love, peace, and soul

greeting from atlanta georgia
