As the 2010 holiday season reaches it peak, all of us here at The Myeloma Beacon would like to thank you, our readers, for giving us the greatest gift possible: your time.  We appreciate your coming to The Beacon and reading our articles, sharing your thoughts about them with us, and discussing them – and many other topics! – in our forums.

The holiday season is a time of many different traditions.  It also is a busy time, when it is easy to lose track of the special meaning this time of year was intended to have.

We hope, nevertheless, that all of us will find time, regardless of the adversity we face, to look back at the past year and give thanks for the good we have experienced. 

Likewise, as we remember and honor those we have known who are no longer with us, let us take the time to celebrate the opportunity we have now to be with people we love and cherish.

And, last but not least, let us hope and pray that the time ahead brings joy and the best health possible to ourselves and those we care about.

Happy Holidays, Beacon readers!
