His loss

I lost one who never loved me & he lost the one who really loved and cared for him…

…I thought you were someone to rely on
…but you tore me apart” ~Wham~

When You Believe

Sometimes life’s TREASURES are invisible to the eye, yet MIRACLES are unfolding everywhere. We must TRUST that our HEARTS are always LEADING us where we most need to go.

A Special Christmas Card

 

This Special Christmas Card arrived in my email box two nights ago. It is not the first Christmas card I received in 2007 but it is the very first Christmas card from a blogger friend. Although I am an old-fashioned girl who loves to receive my letters & cards in the old-fashioned way, i.e., via post, this meaningful card from a wonderful friend is very much appreciated from the bottom of my heart.

THANK YOU, Zai for your “big bear hug & muaaackkk”. My card is slowly making its way to you via the snail mail.

Do you like receiving Christmas cards in the old-fashioned & time-consuming way?

Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself…
~Norman Wesley Brooks, “Let Every Day Be Christmas,” 1976~

Homer, Kublai & Dan

 

I’ll never forget Dan’s impersonation of Homer Simpson.

I’ll never forget how much he looked like Kublai Khan in one of his photos.

Dan has been & will always be a wonderful & caring friend.

Happy 30th Birthday, Dan!!!

May you be blessed with happiness & good health always!

how they see me

I’ve learned that how some people treat me is more a reflection of how they see themselves than how they see me.

Touching the Wounds

A silent reader shared this with me via email.

“When I was a child we had a Christmas tradition. We had a little plaster statue of the baby Jesus that we placed under our Christmas tree each year. We loved our little Jesus doll and took good care of him. He was an important part of our lives. Then one year, tragedy struck. Our dog, in a particularly aggressive mood, decided to play with Jesus and tore his little plaster leg from his body. The family was so upset. We did not know what to do with this broken, mangled Jesus. Should we throw him away? Should we try to repair him? In the end, we decided to leave him as he was, broken and wounded. Somehow he seemed to be Jesus even more that way.”

In the midst of my wounds, I now know what it means to be whole.

Thank you, Denis.
