Just a little tidbit to think about this holiday season - You're going to come in contact with an awful lot of people who are at their absolute breaking point this month- friends, family, neighbours, co-workers, teachers, strangers in the grocery store, retail workers. While it may be the merriest time of year for some, it may be the saddest, most stressful, loneliest, most heartbreaking for others. We're all busy. But we're not too busy to be kind, caring and patient. Remem...ber the best thing you can give someone this season is your love and kindness. - Amy Weatherly Season of love and kindness...Be kind
