A final Christmas wish from me 2009
I am finally getting over the flu I have had for almost two weeks which is wonderful, and I wanted to take the opportunity to share a Christmas thought with you all and leave you with a christmas aussie tune.
I will not post again before Christmas, but want to wish you all the very best for a happy season and New year. If there are people who read this post whom I may have offended or disappointed this year, I am sorry, and for the many people who have made my life that much better because of knowing you this year, I thank you unreservedly. My Christmas wisdom is below which is a mixture of thoughts and feelings expressed by a few others which I have tailor made to suit the way I feel at prresent.
This Christmas, 'Mend a quarrel. Seek out a forgotten friend. Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust. Write a letter to someone who might need to know that you care. Give a soft answer. Encourage youth in your family. Share your loyalty in word and deed. Keep a promise. Forgo a grudge. Forgive an enemy. Apologise. Try to understand each other BEFORE speaking. Think first of someone else. Be kinder. Be more gentle. Laugh a little more. Express your gratitude one to another. Welcome a stranger. Gladden the heart of a child. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth. Speak your love and then speak it again, lets not live with the false premise that "They know I love them" lets actually tell them!
"Christmas is a celebration, and there is no celebration that compares with the realization of its true meaning---with the sudden stirring of the heart that has extended itself unselfishly in the things that matter most." HW Hunter
