People are getting together, days are getting shorter, holiday lights are appearing, traffic is backing up around malls, and yet..... and yet things still feel off. For many of us, activities are normalizing, but our psyches are still bruised by the pandemic, by cultural shifts, by so much. And yet..... and yet when we connect one-on-one, when we pull out the same cookie recipes we've been baking for 50 or 60 years, when we hold hands with those dear to us be they 70 or 2 1/2 or 34 or 95, we feel more whole. Wendy and I want to share words of a Gaelic blessing with all of you; we heard this at two different memorial services that we went to recently.

Deep peace of the running wave to you

May your holidays be healing and joyful.

Wendy and Deby
