Affirmation for December 20, 2010: Winter Calm

There is a privacy about it which no other season gives you... In spring, summer and fall people sort of have an open season on each other; only in the winter, in the country, can you have longer, quiet stretches when you can savor belonging to yourself.- Ruth StoutThought of the day:Sometimes, we want to spend what would traditionally be the "holiday season" alone, away from the bustle of everyone running around with their shopping and to-do lists. If you're one of those fish that is swimming against the tide, know that you're not the only one who chooses to reflect in calm when everyone else is so busy. Enjoy this time, and relish the serenity that can only be brought with a cup of warm cocoa, indoors on a cold winter night.Have a wintery day!TeamDS
