Daily Inspiration: Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time. ~Laura Ingalls Wilder

Today’s Affirmation: I reclaim the innocence of my childhood, nothing is as it seems, all is new today.

Today's Spiritual Contemplation: Have you ever thought of how you have a name for everything you look at; how you accepted an opinion long ago about the value of objects and features? What would it be like to be completely free of all those preconditions, judgments and opinions? The art of innocence is to look at any person, place or thing and ask yourself “What else could that be?” As this season unfolds I choose to share the same joy and wonder as the youngest in my company.
