AMAZING
TIMES For CHANGE And greater call for unity than ever before! If so
many small, tiny bubbles in champagne can live together in peace in the
small confines of a bottle for at least eighteen months at a time maybe
we can find a way to use their example to benefit us as we move forward
in this moder age of constant information and change?!?
AND JUST LIKE ALL THESE Tiny bubbles we must also learn
to rise up and escape into the open and rise and pop and smile and
laugh and smirk, grin, and even burp with good cheer, with great spirits
as we move upwards as is our due, all of us, all of the
bubbles, : Rise and shine and burst and pop and satisfy our many
collective thirsts!
TRYING TIMES, celebrating many holidays including Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, and with the change of the guards from 16
to 17 we have so much work cut out for us now individually, many ' new
Year's Eve resolutions ' ... , maybe this is the year to actually work
on them, keep them, stay purposed, stay the course, and ' Make it Work! "
