It's that time of year again, the Christmas craziness is over and this weekend marks the holiday dedicated to renewal and resolutions. I don't have any on my list this year as of yet. Maybe I'm just trying to keep the bar low so I don't have to rise to high... : ) In all seriousness, there are some years that you're just thankful to have done with and this was one of those for me. The things I did want to do, (make peace with myself, make peace with others I may have wronged) I attempted to do before the holiday. Flowers and cards are a small thing, but they always mean a lot to me. Given the loss of JJ in October and all the other pressures our family and friends have been through, life seemed to short to wait for the New Year holiday to try to make amends with others as well as myself. We just never know when we'll be having that last conversation with someone. As Mya Angelo says..."....people will always remember how you made them feel.
As this year comes to a close, I hope everyone in my world realizes their importance to me and that our last conversation was a good one. If not, I'm truly sorry.
Wishing you all a blessed New Year!
Love,
Vickie

Inspired by the writing lesson Meredith Charlton gave her 1st graders~~What's one Christmas wish you could have that money cannot obtain? Definitely have some of those...how about you?
Christmas is a time of goodwill and peace and I can't help myself, I totally want the Hallmark movie moments. You know, where everyone suddenly understands one anothers' point of view and all is well. Complete with no more misunderstandings and lovely music. Sometimes though, it seems we hurt one another badly enough that we just can't cross that line into understanding. That I find sad.
So my priceless Christmas wish is that anyone who I have had a disagreement with in the past finds it in their heart to forgive and that I can do the same. It has certainly been proven this year to many of us that life is simply too short and precious to have hard feelings toward one another.
