Christmas time

It's the time of year when everyone's together

we'll celebrate here on Christmas day

when the ones you love are there

you can feel the magic in the air - you know it's everywhere

There's something about Christmas time

something about Christmas time

that makes you wish it was Christmas every day.

Friendship

“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art.... 

It has no survival value; 

rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.” 

- C. S. Lewis

Venice

“And off in the far distance, the gold on the wings of the angel 

atop the bell tower of San Marco flashed in the sun, 

bathing the entire city in its glistening benediction.”

- Donna Leon

Sister

She is clothed with strength 

and dignity,

and she laughs without fear of the future.

Proverbs 31:25
