I have to say, that although I've received plenty of bad gifts, I've never received a gift that has delighted me or impressed me as much as the ones I opened this year. With the trend today of gift cards, cash, and vouchers, people don't think before getting someone a present, these gifts are "safe" but not memorable. I don't remember who got me the chapters gift card... This year, someone gave me truly special gifts. Ones that took thought, and time, and energy, and affection to create. It makes me think that giving is not about the amount of $ on a gift card. It's about the heart that went into a gift. I wish everyone Happy Holidays! I'll be in Miami, Mexico, Mahogany Bay and the Cayman Islands for the next little while on a well deserved break. I wish you all the best in the New Year! :)

Time is racing toward me till exams arrive Once I find my confidence, I just may survive The gy

Winter Quotes

“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”  ---- John Steinbeck “Winter is not a season, it's an occupation.”  -----Sinclair Lewis “Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.”  ----Antoine de Saint-Exupery, The Little Prince “Winter changes into stone the water of heaven and the heart of man.”  ----Victor Hugo Let us love winter, for it is the spring of genius. ----Pietro Aretino
