Happy Holidays!
I am writing this note to bring you all some Christmas cheer and to let you know how very much you all mean to me.
This has been the most extremely trying year that I have had in a long time. If you are receiving this you already know everything pretty much that there is to know so there is no point rehashing old news.
What you don't realize is the impact that each of you has had on this one individual life and that is the purpose of this holiday note to you all.
I have the most amazing friends in the world. Whether they are shoring me up mentally, carrying me physically to the doctor, paying my bills or just metaphorically spraying glue on me to keep me from flying apart; someone is always there to be whatever it is I need at any given moment.
THANK YOU!
Those two words in and of themselves are so insignificant in comparison to what I receive from each of you daily. If I could, I would come to each of you individually and let you know what it is you have done or said that has kept me from “jumping of the Goldstar”.
Love, compassion, friendship, honesty, advice, laughter, schemes and dreams are a few things that come to mind. You are here when I'm sad, laughing, pissed off, frustrated, broke and you still come back lol!
There are no gifts under my tree, yet I am truly blessed in so many ways. My son, Kyle, who is 20 this year said to me the other day...”We have a roof over our head, that is Christmas present enough.”
I did good I think to hear that coming from a young man his age. His head is screwed on correctly. And this is so true, so many are out there struggling to survive and we all stand side by side, hand in hand this Christmas. If you are warm, safe, fed and together you have all the essentials to a joyous Christmas.
I want you to know that I love you all and I appreciate you so much. Some of you I talk to daily others less frequently but we never are completely out of touch and I want you to know that I would be lost without you.
You give me hope, inspiration, laughter and the courage to keep trying even when I don't know how.
On this Christmas, I wish you the best that everything life has to offer. Know that I will always be there for you too and I got your back no matter what. Some of you I have never met....in 2011 I hope that I can meet as many of you as is possible to hug you and properly say...THANKS!
Merry Christmas and a very Happy 2011!
