Dear Friends,

It’s almost time for the holidays! It’s nearly time for rest from school work, and December started with mild rain. The soothing and soft sound of rainfall outside and the quiet morning hours remind me how dependent man is on his environment. There’s joy in simple things like the sound of rainfall or the smiles of a loved one. There are blessings in simple things such as gardening and holding doors for other people.

I remain grateful for everything, especially for the wonderful people I have met in these past few months. I wish you all a wonderful month.
