Happy Holidays!

[Guest guest]

Dear wonderful angels of the RA Support Group.

I am thinking of each one of you today. I'm so grateful for all that

you share. You all give me courage and the feeling that I'm not alone

with RA.

I pray for each of you as you deal with your individual challenges and

as you find times of victory. May you be loving and patient with

yourselves. May those around you be kind and understanding and

supportive.

I hope that your holidays are happy ones and that you experience many

moments of delight.

Loving wishes -

Prakasha
