It's the most wonderful time of the year. It begins with Halloween and through The Epiphany on January 6, Three Kings Day.

October, November, December, and January are my favorite months. It begins with my birthday and wraps up with Yirong's birthday. Also, it is a time for make-believe and gifts. I received my first Christmas present from my brother from another mother. And not just for kids. Adults enjoy celebrations and many other pleasantries. Thanks, Jimmy.

The stresses of everyday life can often overwhelm our sense of what truly matters. However, by focusing our energy on the significant rather than the trivial, prioritizing adventures and relationships, and making thankfulness a daily habit, we can discover more fulfillment, purpose, and tranquility.

We can’t please everyone, so be yourself and concentrate on pleasing your loved ones. Our life is about us, our choices, our happiness. It’s not a stage where we perform to get applause from others. Make yourself and those you love happy and respect those who act accordingly.

This season ushers the period we refer to as the eve of many Holidays.
