The Nature of Things

I AM TAKING A HOLIDAY BREAK FROM BLOGGING AS I PREPARE FOR NEXT WEEK'S VISITORS. I PLAN TO BE BACK BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR WITH MY LIST OF FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2019.  MEANWHILE, WHATEVER HOLIDAY(S) YOU CELEBRATE AT THIS TIME OF YEAR - CHRISTMAS, HANUKKAH, KWANZAA, SATURNALIA, PANCHA GANAPATI, FESTIVUS - I HOPE THEY ARE MERRY, HAPPY, JOYFUL OR WHATEVER ADJECTIVE YOU FAVOR. MOST OF ALL, I THANK YOU FOR SHARING PART OF THIS YEAR WITH ME AND I WISH YOU AND THOSE YOU LOVE GOOD HEALTH AND MUCH HAPPINESS IN THE COMING YEAR. 

At this season, whatever holidays you celebrate, I hope they will be happy and peaceful and that you'll have people that you love with whom to celebrate.  Happy Hanukkah!  Merry Christmas!  Happy Kwanzaa!  Happy holidays!
