Dear Sushila
It's the Yuletide season, so here's wishing you a merry and joyful Christmas with a feast of food, wine & whiskey, good friends surrounding you, light-headed with jokes, laughter and lots of presents! One is never too old for surprise presents.
I will be celebrating on 22 & 25 December, both at my son, Jon's place. Because of the social restrictions of 5 people per household each time, we will have 2 different guests on each of the day, as we as family members from different household are also considered in the head count!
I found this story in my book of anecdotes to share with you as we begin a new year:
A woman dreamt that she walked into a shop and behind the counter sat God. "What do you sell?" she asked. "Everything your heart desires" said God. The woman decided to ask for the best things a human being could wish for. "I want peace of mind, love and happiness, freedom and free from fear." she said. Then as an after-thought, she added "Not just for me, but for everyone on earth".
God smiled and said, "I think you got me wrong, my dear. We don't sell fruits here. Only seeds."
Food for thought right? It makes us be aware to build on our innate goodness, to be kind and considerate in our thoughts, words and actions. By sharing God' goodness to others, they too will know how to nurture their own goodness to make this world a better and kinder place to live in.
Peace on earth to man of goodwill!
Love
Sylvia
