Merry Christmas!
When I was asked for my Christmas Wish List earlier this year I took some time to think about what I really wanted. I struggled to come up with some "material stuff" I wanted that could be put in a box a wrapped to go under a tree. While trying hard to please those who asked me for my list, I was reminded again that what matters the most to me is the friends and family I am blessed with having in my life. Nothing would mean more to me than a phone call or a card from those who live don't live close enough for a visit. And a big hug and a good conversation have got to be some of the best gifts of all!
I confess I did think of a few items I'd like to have to put on a wish list. But I won't be disappointed if I don't get them. I believe the presents for under the tree are for the younger folks. What can be more lovely that the face of a child as they gaze excitedly at the gifts under a tree?
My Christmas wish for each one of you is that you are surrounded with the people you love and who love you. I wish for you to be surrounded by those who make you happy and encourage you to be yourself this holiday season.
And for the NEW YEAR my wish for you all is that 2010 be a year of creation, inspiration, imagination and motivation.
Happy Holidays!
