Music: O Holy Night
May your home always be too small to hold all your friends. ~Irish Saying
And may you have a Merry & Blessed Christmas
Wishing You. . .  Merry Christmas
Today. . . I wish you a day of ordinary miracles-  
A fresh pot of coffee you didn't have to make yourself.
An unexpected phone call from an old friend.
Green stoplights on your way to work or shop.


I wish you a day of little things to rejoice in . . .
The fastest line at the grocery store.
A good sing along song on the radio.
Your keys right where you look.


I wish you a day of happiness
and perfection-little bite-size pieces of perfection
that give you the funny feeling that God is smiling on you,
holding you so gently because
you are someone special and rare.
         

I wish You a day of Peace,
Happiness and Joy.
         

It is said that it takes a minute to
find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a
day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.


Take the time to tell the people
you'll never forget that they are special, and
that you'll never forget them.


If you don't send it to anyone,
it means you're in too much of a hurry and that
you've probably forgotten your friends.


Wishing you a very
merry Christmas
         and the best in 2008  
                and . . .

"Be careful of the environment you choose, for it will shape you;
be careful of the friends you choose, for you will become like
them."
~W. Clement Stone

A true friend knows your weaknesses but shows you your strengths;
feels your fears but fortifies your faith; sees your anxieties
but frees your spirit; recognizes your disabilities
but emphasizes your possibilities.
~William Arthur Ward

"We learn our virtues from our friends who love us;
our faults from the enemy who hates us.
We cannot easily discover our real character from a friend.
S/he is a mirror, on which the warmth of our breath
impedes the clearness of the reflection."
~Jean Paul Richter
