Hope

Christmas is the season of hope.
You may be missing an antler, but you have what you need.
My plan is simple. I forgive myself for past mistakes, and look forward to what I can do to help others in the coming year..

Merry Christmas to everyone here at NPN, you're a great group of people!

A lovely image and life motto, too.
Have a wonderful year, and I wish you great light!

That's funny, right away i was staring at his head, trying to figure out if he was missing an antler or it was just a weird perspective--then i read your comment, lol! Great message and a nice shot, Howard--Merry Christmas! :wavey:

Howard,
As I remarked before, the glowing background of this lovely shot perfectly fits in this Christmas season. Now that I read your description, the whole idea is indeed a wonderful plan. May your mistakes in the coming year be few and small, and may you learn from them so you can help others, too.
