This Christmas I Wish For You……………….

My God, I can't believe how quickly the BIG DAY is 

nearly upon us. I hope you didn't get too

wrapped up in the manic-ness of it all.

This Christmas I really wish for you:

* the joy of being able to really kick

back and enjoy the moment

*the joy of not worrying about perfection, but

instead knowing that it will all turn out

OK in the end (so what

if you forgot the cranberry sauce. That is not

what you will remember most in 5 years time ;-)

*the joy of no more to-do lists

*the joy of being with the ones that really matter

(not necessarily those you feel you have to be with ;-)

*the joy of seeing the happiness YOU give to others

*the joy of  belly laughs, tears of happiness and

child-like wonder

*the joy of making time to steal those kisses and cuddles

with your loved ones

* the joy of making fab memories that will

stay with you long after the wrapping has all been thrown

and your Instagram feed has moved on ;-)

* the joy of  receiving (some of us find it difficult to

receive gifts, compliments, surprises……..anything. 

Sometimes we areso focused on the giving, 

that we forget it is OK to

accept and be pampered also.

*the joy of candle-lit lunches and dinners 

(food always seems to taste better in candle-light).

*the joy of  slushy Christmas films 

*the joy of finding quiet moments to reflect and soak 

it all in

*the joy of "no technology" days

Finally I would like to thank you for always

being at my side in this humble space I call 

my blog. I am not a writer and sometimes

find it difficult to come up with anything of value.

So I appreciate every single one of you who make

time to visit. I know how "time-starved" we all are,

so it means even more to me to think I have people

even reading my ramblings ;-)

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and

nothing but the best for 2015.

Year by year it's all unclear, but day

by day we WILL  find a way.
