Over the years, when I stop to think about the journey I've been on, I have come to the conclusion that I am simply blessed, and humbled by the people I meet.

​

Most people hustle about their daily lives doing what they do just to get by. And others, well their calendars just seem so full - that there is very little time to sit back, take a breather and enjoy all the splendor of the season.

Fortunately I get that opportunity to do so each day. Perhaps by chance, a coincidence, on the street, a mall or perhaps even at your favorite restaurant. Because you do know I do like to get around and make visits prior to Christmas.  ​
