Here’s a terry-message for the season with a rural-camp setting for background…
And a beautiful haunting Christmas melody to set up the ambience for the elusive peace that we all so much desire….

That’s a timely message to be living with –
Peace !
Not just during Christmas
but all the year round as well.
Peace that is not only a season
or an occasional event,
but as a regular way of life.
Sometimes we may not find it easy
because we have to make an effort
to make this peace possible….
By being kind and compassionate
and understanding and forgiving;
by reaching out and sorting things out
when things go wrong between us…
by learning to accept and make the best
of circumstances and situations
when things do not seem to be going the way
we might want them to be going……
Peace is not something one asks for..
It is something one gives …
and in the giving itself
one receives….
Peace on Earth – that depends on us!
May you give and receive
peace in your lives…
and have other things as well…
like enough to eat and drink
and a little more.. just in case!
Clean surroundings, clean air..
friends and people who love you
success in exams , work and other things
and the occasional miracle
that you yourself can be a part of…
Christmas blessings
and New Year peace
to you !!
All else well. I am really enjoying the Christmas break…. family gatherings… a few weddings… a lot of much needed rest….
More wondertimes and things to you as yet another year opens up with all its promises and surprises…
Take care. Love, Terry
