I was awakened this morning hearing, "You look beautiful when you sleep." It was a guy in the program I had scheduled to turn on at 7:00 a.m. But, what a nice way to start the day!

I'm just back from the lobby where the huge tree in the center is beautifully decorated. A group of children from a local Day School came at 10:30 to put on a holiday show. They're all physically and/or mentally challenged...it was very touching to see how enthusiastic and excited they were. I had to fight back the tears as I thought how fortunate I am to have four healthy grandchildren and two healthy great grands.

I think I'm going to concentrate on at least trying to have a "Whine-Free Holiday Season". If I can just catch myself in time to replace a negative with a positive...I might actually be able to do it. It could be a challenge, so wish me luck!
