Words!!!!

I thought I'd show this picture again, been awhile, but it looked like a Christmas omen, a beautiful Christmas bird reminding us that the spirit of Christmas hovers over us spreading love and joy in its wake.    It is time to put your best foot forward and become a part of this Christmas spirit.

Take a walk along the beach, those of you who have a beach to walk upon, and gather some of those beautiful beach stones and leave a heart behind for someone in need to find;  a sign of love for your fellow man.

From a woman who knew how to love.   Take a page from her book and and follow her example...love one another .

I am feeling good this morning as I had my first Christmas e-mail letter from a loving friend in Brookings, Oregon.    A wise, sharing, caring lady who is so willing to give of herself and is doing good deeds right now.   She went on to tell me about the events on going in town and I had reasons to smile as memories came flooding in.    She has found the secret of getting on with life after losing her soul mate and has accepted the fact that she has much to do yet with a whole parcel of family and friends to take care of.    A helping hand, a kind word, a simple treat or two and she is on her way to a healthy and happy time yet allotted to her.  It is amazing to have such a friend in my life and I am grateful for her friendship and her words.    And, I might add, I am very proud of her...Go my friend, enjoy each second as they come .

Speaking of friends, Christmas always reminds us of how many folks we know as the Christmas greetings come and we are reminded of the good days when we shared time.    The Christmas catch up letters are such fun to read as we learn of all the activities of the year and the news of change in the lives of our friends.    The miracle of life, new babies ,  new teens who were babies such a short while ago, new brides, old flames and the news some of gone on before us to spend Christmas in the forever home of God's love.    How lucky we all are to be in the world of sharing and caring and Christmas is the time we come alive and show it.   

Today is a good day to start.  You have things to do.  You have cards to send, a family letter to write, shopping to do and don't forget to take one of those little name tags off of the tree and buy a gift for someone who has a lot of nothing....make sure they have a little of something...you have the heart to share so get busy and do it.

I want you to know we had snow yesterday morning but it didn't last.   It was very pretty coming down and it looked promising but wasn't meant to stay.    It has gotten cold so the heavy coats have to be put into play.   Now is the time for all good 'men' to get out the winter coats, hats, gloves and overshoes...winter is here....Hmpph!!!!!

I am off to have my coffee and wake up.   I wish you a 'good' day ;  a special day to live, love and be happy.    Share you with those you like and love.    Visit a sick friend.  Bake some cookies and share them.    Don't forget to put coffee and tea bags on your shopping list as winter weather sets in you will be having more tea parties...invite someone in and share YOU with those you love and like. Be a friend, be a friend, be a friend....as only YOU can be.   Hugs to all.
