Dear Friends,
A Very Happy New Year to Victor, and to all the lovely members of ESLP.
I suspect that, in past times, many members of this family of teachers have endured personal hardships, of many different kinds.
But, they have put a smile on their face, and have continued with their everyday lives.
They have borne the pain, in silence.
Fortunately, this cruel pain is sometimes alleviated by the actions of other kind �family members�.
These members can be seen and unseen. They can be noticed, and sometimes unnoticed.
They give, hope, courage, and renewed life to those who suffer, and need help.
They achieve this with gentle words, wise advice, and abounding love.
This Love changes lives.
This Love works miracles.
This Love gives renewed life to individuals who often think that their life is useless.
You think that I exaggerate. I don�t.
For I am ONE of those individuals.
I am EXTREMELY GRATEFUL to those who have made such a vast difference to my ordinary, hum-drum life.
So, this end-of year message is in the form of a benediction, to every member of ESLP.
Thank you for giving your comfort, your caring, and your kindness.
Thank you for sharing your time and your wisdom.
Thank you for making this world a happier place.
May God look down upon you and bring you peace, happiness, and love.
Les Douglas
