Last year marked the 200th anniversary of this much beloved Christmas poem story… I have loved this poem since I was a young girl.

I’ve always liked certain strands of thought by Kahlil Gibran; especially the poem he wrote about marriage. In many ways, I try to emulate the essence of what he speaks to when cultivating a relationship. In my mind, it’s not just for marriage. This is what I am mindfully thinking about today: The Gibran’s understanding of what it takes to keep a relationship healthy.

![]() Sometimes it’s a poetic thought by Walt Whitman that brings a peaceful feeling to my day. I like this poem a lot. Celebrating your self and your accomplishments and achievements in life is best savored when we realize that we have much in common with others, as we share life on earth. 🌷🌷🌷
