Merry Christmas

[Aliantha]

I wanted to take a few minutes to wish you all a merry christmas and a very happy new year. I'll be hoping for a good one next year while I count the blessings from this one.

It's been a bit of a battle for me personally, and my whole family has struggled along with me, but we're starting to see a fair bit of light at the end of the tunnel now, so I have a lot of things to be thankful for.

There are those of you who have been very supportive of me during this time and I say thankyou from the bottom of my heart. In your own small way, you have made the road just a little less bumpy for me and knowing you've been here has truly made a difference to my life. Others have been very thoughtful and perhaps just didn't have the right words or may have felt I might not need their help, but I do know you have wished me well and I just wanted to acknowledge these thoughts from you. Your silent prayers have not gone un-noticed.

Things obviously have changed for me. I don't spend much time around this place anymore, but I guess that's a good thing really. For me anyway. When it starts not being fun anymore it's time to go. I do lurk about most days though, so don't think you can get away with any shenanigans without me knowing about it.

So, to all I say, may all your christmas wishes come true and your new year be filled with joy and happiness. Life is a struggle sometimes, but the rewards can be great. Be postive about your time on this planet and share your love freely...because it is free, so be generous.
