institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times.

but discovered there was nothing to steal.
The Zen Master discovered the thief.

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

my friends in the holiday season is to pause

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."

Don't take it personally.

Your relationship will become stronger and happier if you do.
