Claudia,
Well said, thank you.  Perhaps we could incorporate your thoughts and
words into our daily lives, and not save the good will for just the
Holiday Season.  Wouldn't life be better?  Wouldn't we all be better for
it?
I wish that for you all.  And to the list - all of you - in the coming
days and years, may the most that you wish for be the least that you
receive.
In peace,
Ron

Dear all,

It?s Christmas time.
As the years passed, Christmas has became recalled by the rush to
shopping
malls, holiday celebrations of the working colleagues in the
restaurants
and pubs, generous amounts of food and booze, marketing promotions and
offers
on our PC screen, on the phone, radio and TV, Santa Claus everywhere,
and amazing street decorations...

Let?s try to rescue the true meaning of Christmas under all this.

There was Someone once that stated the need of forgiving, for Whom the
true
Christmas spirit is all about.
Forgiving ourselves, forgiving our friends& family, forgiving our
patients,
forgiving our greed, envy and luxury,  forgiving the midia, the
politicians,
forgiving our enemies, and also
forgiving the strange human nature that makes us provoke and inflict
pain
to each other, as if we were not brothers in this existence.Let ' s
forgive
offenses,  forgive preconceived notions about others, forgive our
differences,
and also our similarities, forgiving different faiths, beliefs and
fashions.


There's no true healing without forgiving, and as we are health care
givers
we are the most powerful agents of peace in this world.
There ' s no peace without forgiving, either, for peace comes from a
healing
process.


I wish to us all caregivers the starting of a broad mechanism of
forgiving
inside our souls this Christmas, and spread this positive wave towards
everything
surrounding ourselves to the corners of Earth and beyond, to all kinds
of
living creatures, not only in the memory of the Man who once stated
this
was absolutely necessary, but for the sake of a better future to us
all.


Merry Christmas for all,

claudia
