Nothing like Christmastime with lots of family--and four generations together--

to make one feel hopeful, grateful, expectant again. . .

Joy, peace and love to all: Life is beautiful!

Feeling "greatful" for my mother, nana, and son

Images of love from around the world to celebrate its unique forms and potential:

Syrian artist Tammam Azzam projects Gustave Klimt's The Kiss.
"I chose it as an icon of love, a way of looking for the stories of love 
behind this wall that was completely obliterated by the machinery of war."
