Christmas

Christmas comes but once a year, and when it comes it brings good cheer.

With so much sad news this year - earthquakes, floods, mine disasters, drought, etc, etc, life can seem miserable. But Christmas gives us time to pause, reflect on the year that was and look forward to the year coming. Every year brings some goodbyes and some hellos, and some years one really outnumbers the other. Good health, good friends, loving family and security are things we all expect. When these don't occur, it is natural to feel upset and unhappy. But hope was the last imp out of Pandora's jar....and hope is one of the messages of Christmas.

Merry Christmas from all of us at Visique Kapiti Eyecare to you and yours, and may 2011 treat you well.
