Happy Holidays to All! I hope your holidays (which ever holiday you may celebrate) are filled with love, laughter, peace, sleep-filled nights and soft blankets!
Try to remember to take some time to rest and be good to yourself. Sometimes hard to remember and easy to overdo this this of year!
Here's wishing for Peace on Earth, and I'll leave you with the "Seven Wonders of the World"...
Hugs and Happy Holidays,
Tess

THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD
A group of students was asked to list what they thought were the present Seven Wonders of the World. Though there was some disagreement, the following got the most votes:
1. Egypt's Great Pyramids
2. Taj Mahal
3. Grand Canyon
4. Panama Canal
5. Empire State Building
6. St. Peter's Basilica
7. China's Great Wall
While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one quiet student hadn't turned in her paper yet, so she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list.
The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many."
The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help."
The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the Seven Wonders of the World are:
1. to see
2. to taste
3. to touch
4. to hear
She hesitated a little, and then added,
5. to feel
6. to laugh
7. and to love
The room was so full of silence you could have heard a pin drop. Those things we overlook as simple and "ordinary" are truly wondrous. This is a gentle reminder that the most precious things in life cannot be bought.
