Not your average holiday greeting, but doggone somebody else has got to be feeling the heartbreak of 2005. So here's my way of saying, "break an ornament in the name of a better world."
Note: Had a problem with the link on Authors Den, here's what I posted that went "invisible" on me. Sorry for the technical drama. Reposted at 9:11 p.m. (That explained it. . . 9:11. Elfin micro terrorists floating in the hard-drive! (smile)

Subject: Another Holiday Greeting? Guess Again. . .
Ho-Ho-Hold On a second:
For those who at anytime feel that the last few weeks of December are the most stressful time of the year, I ask that you now remember the news about Indianapolis Colts Head Coach Tony Dungee and what his memories for the holidays will be like. He lost a son today.
For those of you who at anytime feel like the price of gasoline is too high for your ego, think about the people huddled around steam grates in cities as they walk a mile wishing that they had a real camel like the ones owned by the wise men of old.
Instead of complaining about what to serve on the holiday table, think of the remains of dining room sets and family photos rotted away by the waters of Hurricane Katrina, and the splinters that now take the place of homes.
That's what I think about as opposed to whether or not I can get an extra dollar in a holiday cash card.
So, for the love of all I've ever met, written or spoken to, high-fived and prayed for, instead of the proverbial holiday greeting, I'd like to break rank by sharing something from a wonderful book by Authors Den writer, Dr. Melvia Miller (www.authorsden.com/melviafmiller) in her most amazing, compelling fact-finding book, "Implosion;Gone With the Weather" a book about diverse views on how to reclaim wellness of natural, political, and spiritual elements, which I highly recommend to anyone sincerely desiring personal growth and understanding of recent disastrous events:
Excerpt from p. 117, Chapter 9: Examining Mental Illness
"Our society is infested with low levels of conciousness which manifests itself in the aweful actions of many people--such as murders, robberies, child abuse, wife beatings, political corruption, fanatics, drug addicts, and more. . . . The problem is that most of us are not very skilled in how to maintain good relationships."
From the latest book: "IMPLOSION: Gone with the Weather" Dr. Melvia F. Miller ISBN# 0-595-37558-8 iUniverse, copyright 2005
My wish for each and every person I encounter is simple and familiar, especially to "Trekkies"--that wish is simply this:
Live Long and Prosper.
Have a wonderful holiday celebration that does not defile mind, body, spirit, or humanity.
be bless'd always, and never give up on yourself. Happy New Life,
