There is something sweet about a little city during
the holidays. Decorations are all over
the main portion of down town, the park is a winter wonderland filled with
Christmas trees all a glow with multi-colored strings of lights and Santa Claus
makes his annual appearance to greet the kids. There is a special feeling in the air around
this time. People seem to smile more, be
friendlier and generally kinder. Perhaps
it’s all of the holiday good will and tidings of joy spread through music and
movies. Or maybe it’s fueled by the
scents coming out of the local bakeries as they create decadent sweets for
holiday consumption. Whatever it cause, it is nice to have more good and happy
things surrounding us as the holiday approaches.
Life here
is a short one. There is enough evil in
the world to keep the media humming along for an eternity. Right now, I’m thankful for the brief reprise
of this in my little city where the local folk are all pleasantly getting along
as we prepare for St. Nick’s arrival.
It’s hard
to imagine that another year is about to pass. Time is truly fleeting. As we get ready to leave 2014 behind, look
towards the future with all the possibilities it brings. My personal goal for
2015 is to write a great deal more as my blog submissions have waned a bit the
past 2 months.
No matter what you celebrate, I wish you all a very
happy holiday season, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Peace, Love &
Joy to you all.
