It’s the first day of the year and tomorrow morning here in New England my cold hectic schedule resumes. The sentiment of “the holiday spirit lasting the whole year through” may be gone by seven o'clock in the morning.
I pondered that spirit carefully. I want this long winter season to be little better this year. Maybe there's some practical wisdom to hold onto more than just a calendar marking the days until summer returns.
I'm curious about one big contributing factor to a joyful season; a time when it’s socially acceptable to be kinder to everyone.
This January 1st, I'm remembering an act of kindness that changed my heart during a tough and relentless time.
