I will reflect the finest qualities my friends offer me and remind them of all the promise I see in them.

In choosing joy, the finish line dissolves into a different matter altogether.

Curiosity takes courage. The most important promises are the ones you make to yourself. Pay Attention. Appreciate. Listen. Imagine.

Wonder what opportunities you pass, unwittingly, because your hands are so busy clasping what you think you have always known.

I think one of the finest gifts I can give my friends in the holiday season is to pause with a long enough quality to actually SEE them. My calm, unhurried presence communicates this gift of a message, "I see you. I recognize you. I remember our times of together and am contributing right now to another quality memory. I value you and honor and take the time, right this moment to pause long enough to truly notice you."

Best Friends: we're a parade - even by ourselves!

There is no small act of kindness.
