Thoughts on gratitude

November 25, 2010 By Carol

November 25, 2010…. Thanksgiving Day formally opens the “season of gratitude.”  Perhaps a meal shared with friends and family brought a chance to slow down and count one’s blessings. Then immediately, before digestion is complete, along comes the mad dash to begin holiday gift shopping.  Can we pause a moment here to reflect more on life’s blessings? […]

“Give your write arm to pen and paper” (letters to soldiers)

November 11, 2010 By Carol

Unless we know someone serving in the armed forces, it probably doesn’t cross our minds much.  I don’t recall “war” being an issue in this last American election! Why was  that?  Although I personally don’t feel that […]
