This "Xmas" cactus came to me a few years ago as a tiny gift.
Dorothy Day died on November 29, 1980. We may associate her with great poverty and a hard life, but she had this to say, "How necessary it is to cultivate a spirit of joy. It is a psychological truth that the physical acts of reverence and devotion make one feel devout. The courteous gesture increases one's respect for others. To act lovingly is to begin to feel loving, and certainly to act joyfully brings joy to others which in turn makes one feel joyful. I believe we are called to the duty of delight."
