I think what's going on in Guantanamo Bay
and other places is a disgrace to the U.S.A.

but it has given impetus and excuses to potential terrorists
to lash out at our country and justify their despicable acts.

What has happened at Guantanamo Bay...
does not represent the will of the American people.

I think it does give terrorists an unwarranted excuse
to use the despicable means to hurt innocent people.

your goals and maintain your happiness.

my friends in the holiday season is to pause
with a long enough quality to actually SEE them.
My calm, unhurried presence communicates

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."

we should really surround ourselves with the ones
that adore us and believe in the highest of us.

Your relationship will become stronger and happier if you do.

behind you in the supermarket checkout line
is occasionally going to think that you are doing it all wrong.
Don't take it personally.
