Happy Holidays, my dear friends!

I remember well the moment I took this photo. I was bundled in boots, hat, gloves and multiple layers of jackets and I was FREEZING! I watched this great blue heron walking on the snow on those spindly little legs, wading in the frigid water and fishing, seemingly not the least bit uncomfortable. What a miracle, I thought! How does he do that?

Take some time this holiday season to appreciate the little miracles that are around you at all times. Whether your holidays are filled with fun and loved ones, or whether it might be a difficult time in some way, there are miracles waiting to be noticed. When we put our attention on them, a door opens to reveal the quiet Joy that never changes, but is always there in the midst of every experience, whether happy or sad. It is a silent, unchanging, causeless Joy that is present always, just below the surface of whatever is happening, waiting for us to notice.

My holiday wish for you is that countless tiny miracles touch your heart and make it sing!

Love, Gayle
