Today I wish you the peace that comes from looking around at the people you are sharing your time, food, and laughter with and knowing that you are blessed.

Today I wish you the peace that comes from knowing that even those we have lost are with us in spirit and in treasured memories.

Today I wish you the peace that comes from knowing that on this day – one of the holiest of days – that you are reverent and at peace with your God.

Have a blessed holiday – whatever family traditions and religious rituals it entails.

Day one thousand two hundred and sixty-seven of the new forty – obla di obla da
