The Legend of the Candy Cane
I found this on a package when I was buying holiday candy.
The Legend of the Candy Cane: Sharing the sweetness of the meaning of Christmas.
Jesus Gentle Shepherd,
This cane of red and white
Proclaims the sweet love story
Born on Christmas night.
This cane, you see, when turned around
Begins your name of Love
And now becomes a symbol
Of peace proclaimed above.
The lively peppermint flavor
Is the regal gift of spice
The white is your purity
And the red your sacrifice.
And so this cane reminds us
Of just how much you care
And like your Christmas Gift
To us it's meant for all to share.

This is a special reminder of all the good things around the holidays. I especially remember making cookies, although this is fun year 'round! Thanks for sharing this wonderful legend.

Wonderful for all lucky enough to be involved ! Have a super week to come =o)
Saturday would have been a great day to sleep in, but as sleep is eluding me lately that just didn't happen. I also had houseguests (the Awesome Boyfriends brother and nephew were here), so I got up and brewed the first of many pots of French Pres...
Today a student came to me with a request for an extension for work missed. She did not have a valid excuse for her absences, but she was sincere in wanting to complete her work. I extended the time that she needed to complete her assignments.
I love that you made the connection between the giving and the receiving. That's one of the benefits of this challenge. Your awareness increases, and you really start to notice what you receive. As you continue on your giving journey I think you'r...
Thank you, Astraa, for the welcome message. I love the cartoon drawing of the lady in her armchair with her cat and her hot drink. I tried to thank you earlier, but I had a problem with the computer I was on last week.

I love your joy at receiving the 5 pennies. Most people wouldn't think of that as something to be excited about, but I am with you. A gift is a gift large or small. I think it makes our lives so much richer when we recognize all the gifts that com...
That is so awesome. I, too, live across from a park and most of the time people are really great and clean up after themselves, but the other times.....grrrr...Good for you, too, for taking care of yourself by walking and Jack by training him. Dog...
