Wednesday Wisdom

Christmas means nostalgia. For the children I work with, it means memories and missing people you love with all your heart. For so many people, it stings, as they are more alone than they dreamed they would be.

Maybe we need to take a bit more care of ourselves during this holiday season, to learn from our feelings and grow into stronger, more sensitive people. And most definitely, we need to look around and extend some warmth, maybe open our homes, to someone who is feeling alone.

"Christmas is a time when you get homesick--even when you're home."
-Carol Nelson
