A potful of wishes for 2013
Dear friends...
If I could fill this pot with all the words
I want to wish you for this new year...
it just wouldn't be big enough.
So I will say..
On this last day of 2012,
to my Aussie and Kiwi family and friends
who are a few hours away
from rolling in the new year,
to my European friends
who are in the midst of the day,
to my American friends and family
who are in the wee hours of the morning
and to all of you in between..
from sea to sea, from shore to shore.
I send you my very best wishes
for the happiest of new years.
May you find creative spontaneity
in all the days to come.
May you be surrounded by the people
you hold dear to your heart.
May joy and laughter fill your life..
and on those days
when you are feeling quiet and reflective,
because we do have days like that..
May you find beauty around you to lift your spirits.
A graceful touch,
encouraging words,
a whisper of sunshine,
and when you are ready,
may your journey be full of promise.
From Hoi An, Vietnam..
I toast my glass
to each and every one of you...
thanking you
for your readership and friendship
over this past year.
I don't think it can get any better
than that for me.
Here's to you!
Cheers!
:)

ReplyDeleteJeanne, I just wanted to stop by and wish you a wonderful New Year. I'm so happy for all your exciting changes in your life. And I love living vicariously through them since I am basically a boring home-body at heart. I also wanted to tell you that I will never forget that you were the first (big) blogger to acknowledge my 'follow' and it meant so much. To this day, you remain a model of grace and kindness in the blogging world. Thanks for being such a warm, special person.
ReplyDeleteAnd, here's toyou, too, Jeanne. It's been a brighter year because you were part of it. Hugs!
