I expected to spend more time here in “this virtual world” with no family in town with whom to celebrate, but surprisingly I’ve created new traditions of my own and experienced the kindness of friends who knew of my situation. After decades of including “strays” in our family gatherings, I’ve become one … and realize (perhaps for the 1st time while being on the "receiving" end) what a lovely gift such fellowship is. <BR/><BR/>How unexpectedly pleasant it's been to find my “gmail” box filled with so many holiday greetings today. I’ve decided to spend some time responding before doing anything else.<BR/><BR/>Eve – I know this has been a challenging Christmas for you as well and I hope the New Year brings gifts of the season to fill your heart with joy and gladness once again. As for the “Hoopla” … I appreciate the “tag” but Mama Zen beat you to it. FYI – my list was posted on December 19th or thereabouts. I’ll leave a note on your blog later, just in case you don’t see this.<BR/><BR/>Peajay – Now that’s a marvelously all-encompassing Christmas blessing. Thank you so much for sharing it with me, and with others who pass this way. You have such a wonderful way with words.<BR/><BR/>Mary – I’m glad you found time to visit and found the links to be as inspirational as I did. May you travel safely to Florida and savor your time there away from the snow.<BR/><BR/>I hope your Christmas celebrations were merry & bright and the New Year brings wonder and joy to you and yours!<BR/>Hugs and blessings,storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101550406171982090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-78231083004331910132007-12-25T20:59:00.000-08:002007-12-25T20:59:00.000-08:00Storyteller,Thank you so much for providing these ...Storyteller,<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for providing these very inspirational links.
