As the holiday season unfolds before us take time to take a moment to reflect on the the things which are most important to us,;friends and family. Spend some time this holiday season enjoying life and all the wonders it represents. Hang out with friends, family, or whomever you choose, but enjoy the moment. In today's world where tensions are constantly on the rise and time for things which are truly important is often very small, savor these precious moments. Take a look around you at the people you often don't get to see until the holiday season, watch a sports event of your choosing, or just hang out in the kitchen catching up on old times with distant relatives and friends. Take a look out of the window every once in awhile, and enjoy the glimpse of the world at peace. The traffic will be largely gone, the noise and bustle of the day to day activity of the neighborhood will be silenced. Too infrequently in our world do we see moments like this. When the world around us has achieved a true sense of peace. Savor it. Enjoy it. Treasure it. In keeping with those thoughts, all in my diatribe here, because I hear drumstick with my name on it calling me.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all.
