Christmas 2012
I don’t think that I am alone in this sentiment but I get a wee bit sad when Christmas is over. I just wish that spirit could last all year long. A spirit of love, kindness (most of the time) and giving of oneself to others. We did experience this feeling of giving and unity one other time this year, during the fires of 2012 in our area [...]
