Opinion
Ingredients:
30 minutes of gratitude
1 memory of your warmest Christmas
1 hug from each family member and friends
1 pinch of mistletoe
Your heart
1 hour of silence
3 days of sunrise
1 day of sunset
In a quiet room, filled with a scent of love … fold in 30 minutes of gratitude … a memory of your warmest Christmas … family and friends’ hugs … with a pinch of mistletoe.
Slowly … add your heart and 1 hour of silence. Let simmer ... checking periodically … to see if your heart has softened.
When your heart has softened ... slowly pour in simmered ingredients ... a moment at a time.
Allow to settle through three days of sunrise and one day of sunset.
Serve with Christmas wassail, coffee or any beverage to settle your soul.
Serves as many who will be served.
May your tears be a gift of healing in this Christmas holiday season and the New Year.

On Dec. 20 I found myself very depressed over the Christmas funds I had counted on not being available.
That same day I heard a knock at my door when to my surprise, like in the story of the three wise men, three representatives from the Vietnam Veterans Chapter 951 were standing with arms full of much-needed gifts and groceries.
My son Joshua and I wish to thank Vietnam Veterans of America President Dean Gotham, Vice President Daniel J. Davi and Veterans of Foreign Wars Adjutant Kirk Macdonald, for turning a depressing holiday into one that mere words cannot describe.
Thank you form the bottom of our hearts.
Merry Christmas and God bless.
