When we recall Christmas past,
we usually find that
the simplest things ~ not the great occasions ~
give off the greatest
glow of happiness. Bob Hope
Life is made up of small pleasures.
Happiness is made up of
those tiny successes.
The big ones come too infrequently.
And if you don't collect all
these tiny successes, the big
ones don't really mean anything.
Norman Lear
The longer I live,
the more deeply I learn that
love whether we call it
friendship or family or
romance is the work of
mirroring and magnifying
each other's light.
James Baldwin
The best way to cheer yourself
is to try to cheer someone else up.

I am reminded of the hymn writer who wrote It is Well with My Soul after he lost his wife and family at sea. At least tat is the story as I remember it.
You didn't tell us about the couple in the vividly colored shirts -- what were they doing and what do their clothes tell us?
