Holiday: Defined.

ser·en·dip·i·ty/ˌserənˈdipitē/

Noun:

The occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way: "a fortunate stroke of serendipity".

hol·i·day/ˈhäliˌdā/

Noun:

A day of festivity or recreation when no work is done.

grat·i·tude/ˈgratəˌt(y)o͞od/

Noun:

The quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.

It is my hope, from the furthest and deepest reaches of my selves, that whatever the holiday season means or doesn't or holds or doesn't or brings or doesn't- that, at the very least, a single moment can be shared, whether across moments, miles, or merely in the passing of strangers, which can serve to remind us that even in our darkest moments, even as the festivities fade and life returns to the everyday, that simply:

The world is made better with every act of kindness.

(and, if you're me, a lil' time on the water.)

May you all find your selves.  Period.

May love abound.

May we all sail true.

Cheers friends.
