As I write this, it has been Christmas Eve Day for almost an hour. Where did the past weeks go? I'm seriously amazed at how time flies. But as I think about this holiday and reflect on its meaning to me (along with cherishing those who are close to me right now), I might not post for the next couple of days. I'm going to relish performing Plaid Tidings alongside my broheims, and I'm going to use my time offstage to give thanks for work and health and loved ones and possibilities. Merry Christmas (and/or Happy... [your cherished holiday]). May this time of year be a springboard to an amazing next chapter in your life.
I'm encouraged by a local radio station here that is giving significant air time to John Lennon's Happy Xmas (War Is Over). My favorite lyrics in this tune are "A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Let's hope it's a good one without any fear." May we have our eyes on the prize in this new year. Peace can happen. And it may take a LOT of work, but America can be the hopeful place it's meant to be. One of the best ways this can happen is simply thinking of others ahead of ourselves – or at least as much as ourselves. Golden Rule. Courtesy. Kindness. Whatever you call it, we can all help heal the world with putting this simple thought into action.
Best wishes of peace and love are coming your way from this artistic fellow. Merry and Happy, y'all!
