Normally at this time of year everyone is so busy. This year I\u2019m enjoying the quietness, the peacefulness of it all. It seems easier to focus on the meaning without so much going on. The thing I love about the holidays is that at its best, it\u2019s both celebrating what we have, and reaching out to others and giving. Especially this year, let\u2019s remember to reach out to others. This week we have music from Rani Arbo &amp; daisy mayhem, Dave Wiesler, Mary Cay Brass, and Bare Necessities. Julie reads poems by Susan Reid and Margaret Atwood, and Margaret Youngberg reads a poem by Sarah Williams. Take care, everyone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Episode Notes<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>1.
