\u00a0“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart.” – Helen Keller<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I’d like to extend a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to my faithful readers.\u00a0 If you don’t celebrate Christmas, I hope you have (had) a wonderful holiday!\u00a0 I truly love this time of year, and while this year has been busier than most (I switched vocations a few months back and am still learning my trade), I wanted to spend a moment and wish each of you, a hearty, and heartfelt “Merry Christmas!”\u00a0 For those of you that know me, you know darn well I’m not the “happy holidays” kind of guy.\u00a0 If you take offense at being wished a Merry Christmas; sorry.\u00a0 It is not my intention to offend you, but to send you well wishes.\u00a0 Please, feel free to wish me a Happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Ramadan, Diwali, and, of course a loud and festive Chinese New Year!\u00a0 Check out the Mother Nature Network’s website<\/a> for a good write up of each holiday above.<\/p>\n

As all of you know, my father and I enjoy a cup of coffee every Saturday, 6:00 am, his time.\u00a0 We, my father and I, received a double gift, we each received a box, with nine smaller boxes in it.\u00a0 Each of the smaller boxes is labeled for January through September.\u00a0 Within each box is are small bags, each with their own Quote.\u00a0 Each box has enough bags for two – three cups of coffee and a quote for each bag.\u00a0 The coffees are a mixed bunch.\u00a0 So we will have several things to talk about besides politics, the women in our lives, bad jokes, and life in general.\u00a0 Our added topics include the taste of the coffee and the quotes attached to each bag.<\/p>\n

I think I’m seeing a new column for this blog for the next several months, “Coffee with the Dr.” which will go into some of the conversations and a general feel good article.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The first quote is from Helen Keller; “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart.”\u00a0 What do you think of when you read this quote?<\/p>\n

So, from our home to yours: Merry Christmas and wishes to you for a happy, blessed, new year!<\/p>\n
