Hi all,

relax, take a slow deep breath, exhale, and for just a minute, imagine this:
You and a small child are going to walk in the park to look for rabbits,
there's a gentle breeze, puffy white clouds, and the sun feels rich and warm
on your face. Instinctively, the small child offers up his/her hand, so you
and the child can hold hands as you walk.  The child's very small hand fits
just so perfectly across your fingers, and your thumb lays gently across the
back of the child's hand.

Now, as you walk, you can feel the child's hand in yours, and a
communication is going on through that precious touch...the child's hand is
warm and soft, and the child is completely secure and happy because you're
holding the child's hand.  Holding that child's hand brings a feeling of
warmth, love, and communion unequaled in this universe, and you can feel the
sweet innocence that is both that child, and that child's world.  After
walking for a few minutes, the child looks up at you, and in that soft, cute
little voice, tells you that when they find a rabbit, you can pet it too.


There, that's my wish...that's what I want your and yours to feel when I and
mine wish you all that is Christmas.



Merry Christmas from the Shahans   :-).
