[Ralph E. Ahseln]

Dear friends,   I wrote this Last year. It means as much and more to me this year. I hope you find it as I do.   My Best Wishes to you all.   Ralph Ahseln Gresham OR   ***************************************************************   Upon These Days of Celebration, a Reflection. The Winter Solstice and the coming holidays signal many things to so many people. For those of Faith, A reminder of why they believe, For those of us who hold no deity dear, this season sees  renewal, still. A time to affirm that the peaceful pursuit of life is, after all, a Human need. A time for friends and loved ones to look to each other for kindnesses and council. To that end .. I wish to say .,,,, To you whom I love and who love me in return, Thank you for that Wondrous gift. To you who give a precious offering of friendship to me, I could not pass along this way of life ..  Without you. To those I have Offended, I ask your forbearance and forgiveness.. May the better times and common interests,  Bring us, once again, together. My wish is that you all enjoy this incredible life  as much as I have these 74 years. You all have made the Journey.. so very memorable. I thank you. I bless you. May this and all the Holiday Seasons yet to come.. For you..be filled with JOY. HAPPINESS and LOVE. Ralph E.
