The Holidays

For me the holidays are not just a time of joy spent with family and friends but it's a time for reflection, taking a moment to think of all those that may not be so fortunate. It's a time when I think of loved ones now gone, of those that perhaps are not able to leave the home for whatever circumstance and may find themselves alone or those that live in other parts of the world dealing with hunger, war and a general lack of personal security that we are fortunate to enjoy here in Canada.

With all that in mind I thought I'd share the above song, a simple reminder to take a moment for those that may be spending their holiday alone, to make a call, say hello and if possible send a note or small gift. Everyone likes to know they are valued, they are appreciated and whether your best friend would prefer some oats or a bottle of cheer I do hope you find a way to let them know they are valued and loved.

Many wishes for a wonderful holiday to you and all your loved ones!
