Hi Georgios. Hey sweet man! I love this new topic. This part of your note is SO important and true. I was so overwhelmed during the Christmas season. So many things to do. This year we have had less money and I was worried I wouldn't have a nice party for my family, and woudn't have good tasting foods. So I decided to do LESS. I made a pork roast with delicous sauce, (only cost $4.00 and fed 14 people!) we didn't have cold cut sandwiches, and I used the cake mix that I had in the cupboard and put dried fruit in it. People BROUGHT food this year. Sister made some cookies, my niece made a vegtable platter. We had hot spiced cider instead of punch. Everything was just wonderful. I worried for nothing. I thanked God that I had a loving family that didn't care for expensive foods -- they just loved the FAMILY. The day after, I took a LONG hot bath, listened to Handel's Messiah and put candles all over the bathroom and just took time for myself. It was so nice! So this paragraph....it is SO TRUE!! Be positive with yourself. Be kind and generous with yourself. When was the last time you did something nice for yourself? You deserve some special attention. Be good to yourself and that goodness will overflow into the world and the people around you. -- Ralph Marston -- Thank you Georgios. This is a wonderful idea. Love, Pat
