On Christmas Day

Wow, haven't posted in quite awhile. Must make a resolution to do better in the New Year. My apologies to those who have enjoyed the blog and have encouraged me along the path for leaving you hanging after the last post. While I haven't been writing in the blog, I have been thinking about the direction I would like to take it in the coming year. But that is for another post....a New Year's post.

It is cold and raining here today, a typical December day. I've spent the morning sending off emails and making my ritual Christmas phone calls to friends and family. It's heartwarming to hear the smiles at the other end of the phone line. I've made new friends this year who have been added to my email and call lists. Friendship is one of life's greatest treasures. I'm not able to be with family this year, but my rambling bud, who lives nearby, has graciously invited me to her house this evening for supper. As I am bringing the roast beef, I think it would behoove me to show up on time.

Just want to take a minute to wish each of you a Merry Christmas. Wherever you are and however you choose to celebrate the season, may the spirit of joy fill your heart. I hope that if you don't have family to be with, you at least have friends who care, for true friendship is indeed a great and wonderful gift. Thank you to all my friends, old and new, who fill my life with joy and my heart with love. Peace be with you....now and always.

Happy Holidays!
