Thankful Holiday Thoughts

I designed a special holiday card for my clients this year, but would like to share the message in it with the special people here who helped me so much this past CH season. It's missing the graphics, but the message is what counts:
"For the moment, be still. Count the ways you are blessed. Be thankful. Be slow to quarrel. Search out a forgotten friend. Suspend suspicion, be trusting. Write a love letter. Share a treasure. Give a soft answer. Encourage youth. Show your loyalty in word and deed. Nourish a grateful attitude. Keep a promise. Find the time. Don't harbor a grudge. Listen. Apologize if you are wrong. Be understanding. Be slow to envy. Forgive. think first of someone else. Show appreciation. Be kind. Count on miracles. Laugh more. Deserve confidence. Be gentle. Wage war against prejudice. Worship your God. Gladden the heart of a child. Decry complacency. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth. Make every day a thanks giving. Speak your gratitude .... Speak it again ... Speak it still again ... Speak it still once more..."
Have a safe and peaceful holiday, my friends.
Kris
