Reviving the PB Christmas thread. It is worth re-reading.

Merry Christmas to each of you and may the Hope of the season reside in you and your household.

Christmas is hope.

C. S. Lewis:
"There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. It is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit--immortal horrors or everlasting splendors.
"All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or the other of these destinations."

ERIK H. ERIKSON:
Hope is both the earliest and the most indispensable virtue inherent in the state of being alive. If life is to be sustained hope must remain, even where confidence is wounded, trust impaired.

WINSTON CHURCHILL:
The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.

Ewest :
Today�s hopes and dreams are the basis for tomorrows reality � think deeply about them , keep them alive and nurture them for they are your path and your promise.
