Merry Christmas to everyone that is part of this wonderful community! I am fortunate to be able to spend the day with my wife two kids that have just returned from their first semester from college. I know that Covid has impacted so many of you directly and has made it impossible to see some of your families. I hope that you will see them soon.
I had mentioned a few months ago that I needed the thoughts of everyone as I was going through a very tough time. I am happy to report that I am significantly better. I truly believe that everyone that posts here has been a part of my recovery. While I have only met a small number of you in person, I feel a special bond with everyone.
Thank you everyone and again Merry Christmas!
Congratulations Andrew and may you continue to be blessed with good health. Studies continually show that being part of a group, organization, complainers club ?leads to better health and whatever role we may have played in the improvement of your condition is not surprising.
have a great Christmas with your family Andrew and looking forward to meeting you one day in the not to distant future.
I'm a firm believer that complaining/venting is a big contributor to good health. It's like exercise and a good diet. That's one of the main benefits of being an SJU basketball fan, it gives me plenty of fodder. /media/kunena/emoticons/wink.png
You may be the healthiest man in NY. LOL.
I think that working to maintain a positive outlook is a key component to mental health and physical well being. When you consider the plight of so many on this planet, we are all incredibly blessed.
Merry Christmas. It seems that during Covid, our faith, at least our devotion, has taken a considerable hit.
This Christmas verse is so powerful and stands out among so many, that is the most used evangelical Gospel message by chapter and verse alone:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."
A child is born today. As a father, and now grandfather, I could see immediately something good and holy in these ordinary children. The birth of Jesus changed the world forever, and the joy of His birth is the redemption of mankind.
Merry Christmas! My prayer is that all see the Nativity through the tinsel, lights, and giftwrap of our lives.
