My Blessings, that is. 'Tis the night before Christmas and all through the house.....not a chore has been finished, but I'm clicking my mouse....tonight my children will be sleeping all snug in their beds, for which I am profoundly grateful. Son will be home any moment and I can't wait to see him. Daughter baked sugar cookies until almost midnight last night so the house smells so amazing....
This has been a year of Amazing Grace. I started blogging right around my birthday in August, and feel like I have made a personal quantum leap. I am WRITING every day, and knitting my way through my stash. Playing my guitar again, and LOVING it. The friendships which seem to baffle most people (You met her ONLINE?) are incredibly precious to me. The support and kindness and caring has been nothing short of extraordinary. Miraculous.
Thank You. Thank You. Thank You, a thousand times, Thank You.
I hope in some small way the prayers I pray for you, individually and collectively make a little more Light shine in each of your hearts. This day and always....
It is POURING rain here today, and so I pray especially for all of those who are on the road, in the skies (may they be Friendly!) or looking out of the window of a bus or a train on their way to visit family and friends. Be SAFE out there, dear ones. Count your piggy toes and sing a song for me, Caroline!
I know that many people dread this holiday season(s) and feel adrift in a sea of Overwhelming Sadness. Know that the LIGHT of my heart is wrapped tenderly around you, hoping to help in some small way. I understand, in ways you may never know, the lonely dark side of the moon.
LOVE and Joy, come to you....
You are too much :) Your post today truly warmed my heart. I hope the blessings you wish for others come back a thousand-fold to you and yours.
Merry Christmas!

Caroline was sitting on my lap when we first read this this morning -- and she counted those toes while we were en route this afternoon! Thank YOU, Amazing One~ XXO

NADOLIG LLAWEN. Light, love and laughter be your this day. May you and those dear to your heart find warmth of heart, illumination to mind and laughter on lips as you share the LIGHT powered by LOVE and lifted by LAUGHTER.
May the healing and growing strength of your 'new' eye continue but not too much dancing round the tree eh :0) Love
