Life is a funny old thing, isn't it? I am rather HOPELESSLY behind with my Christmas shopping and card writing this year and am having to admit defeat as far as some of it is concerned but although my usual plans have been scuppered this year I have had TWO lots of great news this December to cheer me up and make it seem more like the kind of idillic Christmas I long to find each year...
The first is news that a long standing friend of mine who is a REALLY nice guy, has just informed me that he has found his TRUE LOVE! No wonder I had not heard from him for a while (I had been too busy to contact him, either!) as he has been spending lots of time in a 'loved up' state! I am tickled pink to hear this good news as the 'old boy' has had somewhat of a bumpy ride life wise this last two or three years and its about time 'lady luck' knocked upon his door!
WHAT a relief to get some GOOD news at the moment, eh? BOY this year has been a hard one to love!!
On a similar footing I am content with my lot this year because I know that two more of the people I care about in this world are going to be TOGETHER again this Christmas after a period of being 'prized apart' through ill health. The road for both of them has been particularly treacherous for some time and the road ahead is not going to be without a few bumps in the road either but I am SOO HAPPY to know that this Christmas my two friends (pictured here) will at least be reunited and able to sit around the telly or a warm fire TOGETHER with friends and family close by for the big day.
People get so 'hooked' on money and things to do with money but in reality I find its HUMAN things that truly make the world seem a better place. My wish for all of you reading this is that you too will soon be blessed with something WONDERFUL to celebrate this Christmas...
P.S.) Off to my Christmas Quiz at Shorelink Writers later today. Its going to be MAD and lots of festive fun - expect a report on here tomorrow!
Toodle pip!
