my friends in the holiday season is to pause

I value you and honor and take the time,
right this moment to pause long enough to truly notice you."

some material and financial state.

perhaps a nightmare,
perhaps a cherished memory,
but only a dream - nothing more.
I will make all decisions and actions based solely
on what I have today as a starting point."
