My wish for all of you is.........

[graciegirl]

That you will be celebrating YOUR feast, be it Christmas, Hanukkah, or the closing of another year, with someone who loves you dearly, and that you will have a warm and pleasant meal and many happy memories to share. I hope that the next year brings you gentle happiness, security, health, and a few lovely surprises.

I thank you for your acceptance and warmth for me and my family and for sharing this time of our lives with us in such a kind and caring way. I hope to be your friend for a very long time.

You have made me smile, cry, and laugh uproariously, you have made me think and sometimes even disagree. You have brought out the best and even the worst in me. You have made me live in a way I never expected for this time of my life.

I wish you every good thing, every blessing and most of all hope and peace.

Oh my! GG started this nice thread and I did not see it. And I wanted to wish everybody "Comfort and Joy" and I decided to go ahead and do that in another thread I was checking just now. And then I saw this thread. I am a little frantic. But I just had to have a look at TOTV as I passed by the kitchen computer. And I missed this thread at first glance. So I am wishing "Comfort and Joy" all over the place here on TOTV tonight.

And sometime, when there is more time, I will tell you all about the silly thing I did at Macy's -- because I was in a hurry and not paying attention. It's what I do sometimes. Anyway, the saleslady and I had a wonderful laugh. Two strangers laughing together in the middle of that hectic place, just for a minute.

Anyway, again, to all of you out there..........I wish you "Comfort and Joy."

You like to keep us in suspense, don't you? It's your mo·di operandi, huh?
