My Christmas Wish, Hope for the New Year

Good tidings of comfort and joy with warm Christmas Wishes and Hope for the New Year!

My WISH is for you to live a life life filled with genuine kindness, benevolence, passion for compassion and gratitude in both your mind and heart.

I HOPE that you will allow kindness to be seen as your greatest strength in the New Year and beyond.

I WISH that you will eternally feel the joy of being a giver, not a taker,

My HOPE is that you understand that it is in the shelter of each other that ALL the people live, all year long

My WISH is that you to understand that kindness and gratitude shouldn’t be seasonal. Pay it forward and show that you genuinely care about others, always

I HOPE that you truly believe in your heart that it doesn’t matter where someone came from or how they got there, it truly only matters what they do once they arrive

My WISH is that YOU start to be the change that YOU want to see in this world while I HOPE is that you will learn to become a kind referent leader, a change maker and societal, a good teacher, filled with love, empathy, integrity and intellectual humility

My WISH is that you will honor and respect the blessing of TIME. Remember, we can always make more money, but not more time. While it is true that TIME is the most precious of all commodities, it is equally important to consider that TIME is also a depreciating asset (especially as we get older).

I HOPE that you now realize (especially in light of a global pandemic) that TIME must be valued more than MONEY. It must be cherished, protected, made the most of, and never, ever wasted. After all you can never really own anything in your life, that doesn't ultimately own you, and your time. So, be careful of what you aspire, and always consider the cost in both money and time. Those dreams and aspirations, may be more expensive than you think.

Lastly and perhaps my greatest WISH and HOPE for all reading this, is that you live a lifetime of good health, family happiness and lots of prosperity to go along with the comfort and joy of being thankful if you have the blessing of ENOUGH

My Ode to ENOUGH - May you always have ENOUGH of the things you need for yourself and more than ENOUGH of the things you'd like to share with others. In this way, your hands will always be extended in friendship and never in want...

And should you find yourself more fortunate than others, build a longer table, not a taller fence. While the grass isn't always greener on the other side, it will always be greener where you water it!

Be well, Stay well and Remember to ALWAYS treat others well.
