A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change. Earl Nightingale

There is too much pain and misery in the world today. May you always have the strength of will, generosity of spirit and physical health to use your gifts to make a positive difference in the lives of those you touch.

I will light candles this Christmas

Candles of joy, despite all sadness,

Candles of hope where despair keeps watch.

Candles of courage where fear is every present,

Candles of peace for tempest-tossed days,

Candles of grace to ease heavy burdens.

Candles of love to inspire all my living,

Candles that will burn all the year long.

Howard Thurman

We’ll see you in 2011.

May your learning be sweet.
