THANK YOU

Rate: 32 Flag

 

It is Christmas Eve here in Australia right now and before I rush out the door to do some last minute Christmas shopping … before my daughter and grandson and my sons arrive home tonight … I want to take this chance to say THANK YOU. 

Thank you my dear friends for welcoming me to OS this year, for being a part of my life and bringing me much joy.   

You have brought me a joy I could not have imagined.  You have also shown me and given me love.  Yes, love.  Love through support, encouragement, teaching and giving. 

 I feel so very blessed.  Thank you for being you ... each and every one ... Thank you.

  

MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.    

May love and happiness surround you and peace find your heart this Christmas. 

 

And may they be your blessing forever more.

 

 

The Spirit of Christmas

Merry Christmas to you and yours. I've often tried to explain to my friends what OS is all about. They look at me like I'm nuts. But at least everyone here gets it. -R-
Merry Christmas to you too and I am so glad you are here!!
You are such a dear! Merry Christmas Kate. I'm truly grateful I found OS and your presence here.
I assure you, the pleasure was all ours. I feel blessed to have had your comments in my blog and to have had the opportunity to read your writing.....thank you.
Dearest Lil Kate,
Never met, but I know you, and I'm grateful.

Merry Christmas to you Kate and your family. Blessings and peace to you in the new year. RRRRR
A wonderful Christmas to you and your loved ones! You have been a calm and loving influence here and OS and it has not gone unnoticed by many who favor your wonderful poetry and words.
Merry Christmas, dear!
How cool to be ahead -- Merry Christmas...it's been a pleasure following your work...
Sweet Kate!

Merry to you too!
Darn - you beat me to this. I was going to write the same sort of thing around New Year's. You said it so perfectly and so poignantly. I feel the same way. Lots and lots of good people on OS - with talent, and selflessness and encouragement. I too am grateful. Rated.
Happy holidays !!!
And a grand thank you my friend. Enjoy this season of love.

Merry Christmas to you! Your support and comments have brought me much joy as I ventured into the world of having people read my poems. I have been inspired by yours.
rated with love
i feel obligated to say "you're welcome" but mostly i want to say "thank you" for all your sweet comments and kindness
Merry Christmas to you!!!
Aye lass! And merry christmas to you down under as well.
Imagine those palm tress around you house as outlining the city of Bethlehem,..and watch for the star guiding in the sky.
It's the season of miracles!
"May love and happiness surround you and peace find your heart this Christmas." Indeed my friend, I wish you the same!
As I came back here tonight and read all of your comments, I felt surrounded and protected by the sheer magic of love. Peace does fill my heart right now.

The time here is a little after midnight ... it is Christmas morning. And I can think of no better way to start this morning than with this gift of love and peace.

Thank you.
It has been a fun one woman. I think we are all bessed to have each other here in this space in the cyberland of OS.
You got a sweet soul dear.
I send you good karma today for all you do in this life.
Hugs dear. Big ones. Take care of you and yours in this world we all share....
It's is Christmans morning here and though I am Jewish Kate and Christams is over in your part of the world, thank you for your post and thank you for all the joy you have brought to OS.

Happy Holidays and a Happy and Healthy New Year to you and your family.
And yet more love is here ... Such loving, kind and wondeful people here. Thank you!
It is late Christmas evening now, I missed this yesterday. When I finished wrapping packages around 3 this morning, I turned on my laptop and promptly fell asleep with it in my lap (something my cat wasn't very happy about, since that is her spot to sleep). I awoke a few hours later with a crick in my neck and getting busy for the trip to my my daughter's -- four blocks away. I came here tonight to write about the day, but it will wait until tomorrow. It is hard to type when the laptop is on the arm of the chair and I have given my cat, Precious, so little lap time the past several days, she insists on it now. I am happy, content and merry for the first time in a few years at the end of Christmas Day. I, too, came here just this year. I do feel a camaraderie here that I need.
pastvoices: To read of a contentment in your heart for the first time in years brings a tear of joy to my eye, my sweet friend. Thank you, thank you for being here. My love to you.
I think we should all raise a glass to our dear Kate!
Hoping the holidays are all you need them to be.
(and Thanks)
Best of the season to you my sweet kate..!
