Special Holiday wishes.

The blessings of the gift of another year.

If you are reading this, you have been given the gift of another day,
another chance to learn, become, share and grow.

If you are reading this you have been given the gift of another year to learn to be a better you in a changing and often uncertain world.

During the past twelve months some of you may have lost a loved one or been blessed with the birth of a child, ended a career or begun another, faced a difficult challenge or seen life from the mountaintop - regardless of your station in life you are one of the fortunate ones, you are still here to fulfill your life's destiny for you to share love, spread hope and understanding with those who have been or are less fortunate.

What is needed more than ever before in our world is,

Love
Tolerance
Patience
Compassion
and a willingness to reach out to someone in need, someone in pain
or someone alone.

Regardless of your status, wealth, position, power or history, your future and mine is interwoven together like the fabric of a quilt. We cannot separate ourselves from the rest of the world we cannot deny that our mutual destiny depends on everyone, everywhere.

Your love withheld is love denied.
Your gifts hoarded are gifts that whither.

Your hope that is hidden by the darkness is hope that will
never touch another life.

It is time for a new beginning.

It is time for a better ending.

It is time for each of us to take the responsibility for the rest of us as we travel together this journey of life on planet Earth.

I hope that you are blessed with another year and I pray you use it wisely.

I wish for you that you will feel gratitude and joy for the blessings of wisdom, grace and love that God has given to you this day, this year and in this life.

My very best wishes for a happy holidays to you, your family, friends and fellow employees. I hope 2005 is a safe, prosperous, healthy, happy and fulfilling year for you and yours.
