Long after the last snow is gone, as the tulip trees begin to flower, the spirit of Christmas can still be found, if you look hard enough. (NYC, April 2016)

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.”Melody Beattie

Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love. Hamilton Wright Mabie
