Hi Karen,

Thanks for your lovely post.
I wish you and your family (and everyone here) a merry Christmas and a Happy new year!

When I was going to reply your post, I was thinking about an old poem in my country. It goes like this:

Growing the seed of heart, to become a tree.
It's here and there, everywhere, in everyone.
It's been beautifully blooming in its goodness.
This, a particular flower, is called "love." 

Cheers from
DonQ! (monty)

P.S. The more I'm getting old, the more I have been thinking about how to relearn about being happiness. For example, there was a time when only a book could make me feel happy. But why it was hard to feel that way again?
I'm going to post about this song (Pachelbel Canon Medley in D with medley of songs. ) on another thread:

'Streets Of London' by Ralph McTell
Have you seen the old man in the closed down market
Picking up the papers with his worn out shoes
In his eyes you see no pride and hanging loosely at his side
Yesterdays paper, telling yesterdays news
So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something to make you change your mind

Then I thought about Confucius:
Confucius said, "The superior man (or a real spiritual person) does not seek fulfillment of his appetite nor comfort in his lodging. He is diligent in his duties and careful in his speech. He associates with men of moral principles and thereby realizes himself. Such a person may be said to love learning."
Tzu-kung said, "What do you think of a man who is poor and yet does not flatter, and the rich man who is not proud?"
Confucius replied, "They will do. But they are not as good as the poor man who is happy and the rich man who loves the rules of propriety."
