i haven't been around very much but i have been peeking in here and there. i just want to wish all of you a wonderful holiday. eat well(i know i will

). i hope you receive many gifts and most of all, take time to reflect and give thanks. remember the simple things in life and what this next few days truly represent. may the Creator whomever you look to for guidance and comfort bless and keep you and your families. in the spirit of friendship and humankind, i love you all.
