We may never see the likes of Nelson Mandela again in our lifetimes. This morning I heard a quote from him which was " Difficult times can break some men and make others." His whole life was an example of how to face adversity and stay true to yourself, without hatred or condemnation. What I remember most about Mandela, other than all the history we know, is his smile. He beams in his pictures and his joy for life is evident. He was the master of his soul! At this Christmas time I urge everyone to honor Mandela's memory by doing something wonderful for someone else. You remember the bumper sticker of past that said, "Random Acts of Beauty and Forgiveness", well, in his memory I want to make someone else smile today and hope they try to pass it on. We can all "play it forward" this season and keep his joy and kindness alive. May we all find peace and joy.
