From the Editor's Computer

At a Christmas craft sale last weekend I saw a plaque that read something along the lines of: The best days always end with the dirty clothes.

How very true that saying is. It is often the day when we end up getting a little dirty, or when nothing goes right, or when plans get tossed out the window, that ends up being, in hindsight, the best day.

A detour or lengthy delay can result in an unexpected encounter with an old friend, or with a stranger who becomes a new friend.

A slight mishap can lead to either a great moment of sharing during the clean up, or a serendipitous discovery as something new emerges from the mess.

During this Christmas season, when schedules are fuller than usual and life seems to be more chaotic than normal, take some time to truly enjoy the blessings these unpredictable situations offer to us.

After all, these are the best days of our lives.
