Peace

This time of year, more than any other, turns our thoughts to Peace. Holiday songs speak about "Peace on Earth", Christmas Specials and Movies turn our minds to Peace between each other and around the world. It is a most beautiful yet hard to hold feeling. Peace is something that we all need to search for and strive to obtain.

Too often, man speaks of Peace without fully acknowledging that it is a difficult concept to obtain. Peace is something that should and must start from within each of us. Peace is virtue that even the most gentle and loving of man has trouble understanding and sharing.

So where do we start? We start with ourselves. We start first by accepting that we are a work in progress and far from perfect. We start with loving ourselves and then extending that love to our family and friends. We start with sharing ourselves with each other and those who need our love and understanding. We start with accepting others as who they are, not as we want them to be. We start by being kind and generous with our hearts.  We start now, not tomorrow or next week.

Merry Christmas to all, and Peace to the People on Earth. May your lives be filled with true Peace and Love.
