My award-winning short story, Christmas Renewal, is not a Christmas tale. It’s a story of renewal offered to inspire anyone who finds themselves at a crossroads in life. So, in a sense, it’s a New Year’s story, or a “new life” story, empathizing with those of us confronted with change and reminding us of the boundless possibilities of life. May you find a sense of renewal within you as you reflect on George Gandy’s evening of rediscovery and renewal. This is the first in a four-part series featuring Christmas Renewal. Today's scene is entitled "Cat Nap."
