An Open Christmas Letter to my Fellow Chiffsters

Post by spittin_in_the_wind »

As we bear down on Christmas and the coming New Year, I wanted to offer up my wishes for all of my friends here:

May you have a good life and good company.
May you always make the most of a beautiful day.
May you take comfort in foul weather and the opportunity to nurture yourself.
May you never fear to try something new.
May you have the faith to assume the best and to forgive the worst.
May you have the strength to listen to an opposing viewpoint and the patience to explain your own.
May you have the integrity to change your mind sometimes.
May you have the foresight to know when to end an argument.
May you work so that you can sustain yourself and your family and never sacrifice those things to work.
May you have the humor to take yourself not-so-seriously.
May you gain wisdom from your mistakes.
May you rejoice in your place in the natural cycle.
May you never forget to gaze at the night sky.
May you always remember how precious your life is.


Merry Christmas!
