Alongside Mar del Plata A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But, a few days later, he came back to return the stone to the wise woman. "I've been thinking," he said. "I know how valuable this stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Please give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me this stone." Sometimes it's not the wealth you have but what's inside you that others need. This might be naive and trite but I think it
captures something of the Christmas spirit.
Merry Christmas.
All is well.

What I have inside me is an empty stomach.
You want it you can have it. Alright, alright I am just playing up to
my 'bah humbug' image. Actually a little know fact - I am originally
of Jewish origins. Happy Holidayzzzzzzzz.
