What are you wishing for in the holiday season?

Here is my wish list, for myself and for others.

1 Joy in our work

2. Fellowship of friends and colleagues

3. Acceptance that sometimes things just don’t go our way

4. Appreciation for what we have

5. Compassion when others make mistakes (large and small)

6. Openness to alternate ways of doing, seeing and thinking

7. Generosity of spirit in how we perceive the intentions of others

8. Vision for the future and courage to carry it out

9. Recognition that our every action comprises the legacy by which we will be remembered

10. Peace and good will to all, even (especially?) those to whom we may not be especially well disposed!
