This is the time of year when relationships appear to be at the forefront of our minds and actions. The holidays represent gatherings, sharing food and beverage, and warm wishes to all. This year I am saddened by the insurgence of violence in our society. I cannot remember a time when I had this unsafe feeling whether I at home, work or an event. Whatever happened to the phrase, “Be kind to one another;” or, “Love one another as you love yourself.” I am wishing all of you who read my blog to have a wonderful holiday season and be thankful for your family and friends. All these relationships should be cherished…my heart goes out to all of you.
