2009 has been a year to remind us of the important things in life. 

Over the holidays we hope you. . . 

Mend a quarrel. Seek out a forgotten Friend. Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust. Write a love letter. Share some treasure. Give a soft answer. Encourage youth. Manifest your loyalty in word and deed. Keep a promise. Find the time.  Forgo a grudge. Forgive an enemy. Listen.  Apologize if you were wrong. Try to understand. Flout envy. Examine your demands on others. Think first of someone else. Appreciate. Be kind; be gentle.  Laugh a little. Laugh a little more. Deserve confidence. Take up arms against malice. Decry complacency. Express your gratitude. Welcome a stranger. Gladden the heart of a child. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth.  Speak your love.  Speak it again.  Speak it still once again.

Best wishes to you and your family from all of us at
