"Christmas gives us an opportunity to pause and reflect on the important things around us." - David Cameron
"Christmas is not as much about opening our presents as opening our hearts." - Janice Maeditere
You are important to us, dear Wanderers, and we open our hearts to you each week!
This will likely be the last Wanderings until after Christmas, so we leave you with a photo of the Lights of Life Memorial Tree in front of the Wayne Dumont, Jr. Administration Building in Belvidere. The white lights and decorative stars represent donations sent to Karen Ann Quinlan Hospice in memory of a family member or friend. If you find yourself in the spirit of giving, and would like to help your local community in need, you may want to consider donating to one of the Food Pantries in our area.
We wish you peaceful and healthy holiday season, and hope these newsletters bring you joy throughout the year! We'll leave it at that, and let this week's issue speak for itself.
Happy Christmas, and Happy Wanderings!
