My Friends and Readers of the Hungarian Heritage Review:

January is the month of reflection. We take stock of ourselves as to where we were and where we hope to get.

In the hustle and bustle of the harsh and demanding year, which most of us spend in laboring for our families and the community in which we live, there is but little rest and it is hard to find the sanctuary of a quiet corner, where one may see himself, or herself, as we really are. One must go on.

I still hear the happy sounds of Christmas and see the glow of expectations on the faces of children. I still remember the hearty handshakes as wellwishers are passing me by. How is it — oh, yes, at Christmas time and on Christmas Eve when we share and laugh, we become a man who, for this solemn moment, forgets to get embarrassed and acts like he always wanted to but, because of those constant pressures of society, was always afraid to communicate? When the lights are glittering and the “King is Born", it is so good to be what we really are in our hearts. That is because, on Christmas Eve, all is well and all is right — after all, we are all brothers for the night!

Would it not be nice to carry Christmas with us into the so-called “reality", because, as the songwriter puts it. . . “it's not the things you do at Christmas Time, but the Christmas things you do all year through..

Oh, my friends, it would only be fair that, when we are at it again, to remember the “CHILD"!

At this time, I would like to share with you a little poem, instead of the much-liked “Tid-Bits”. . .by Mr. John C. Murray, CLU — Life Insurance Sales Representative. It reads as follows:

“When things go wrong, as they sometimes will.

When the road you're trudging seems uphill;

When the funds are low, and the debts are high,

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh;

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest! If you must — but never quit.

Life is queer, with its twists and turns.

As everyone of us sometimes learns;

And many a failure turns about,

When he might have won, if he's stuck it out;

Stick to your task, though the pace seems slow.

You may succeed with one more blow.

Success is failure turned inside out,

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;

And you never can tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems afar;

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,

It's when things seem worst that you must not quit!"

A happy, healthy and most prosperous New Year for everyone!
