To all of you who are readers, I thank you.

And wish you a wonderful holiday season filled with family, friends and good cheer.

And peace. Most of all I wish you peace.

The kind of peace that creates patience, understanding, and good will.

Peace that gives you time for the little ones, and the old ones.

The kind of peace that makes you give and receive with humility.

And peace to the environment and all things wild.

The mountains is a place where I seek peace, and often find it.

And I pray that you have a similar place.

Peace on Earth.

Goodwill.
