Am Ende des Jahres
zurück blicken auf den Weg,
der hinter einem liegt.
Sich erinnern, inne halten.
Aufatmen. Durchatmen.
Am Ende des Jahres
Hoffnung schöpfen.
Einen Neuanfang wagen.
Sich freuen, auf das was
kommt.
Sich leiten lassen,
einem Stern folgen.
Am Ende des Jahres
an einem Ziel angekommen
sein.
Stolz sein,
etwas geschafft zu haben.
Hindernisse überwinden.
Nicht aufgeben.
Am Ende des Jahres
einem Wunder begegnen.
Keine Angst spüren.
Sich überraschen lassen.
Staunen, glauben.
Vertrauen haben.
Am Ende des Jahres
einfach Mensch sein.

There's no time to waste,
there's so much to celebrate!

You have everything you need
if you just believe."

merry christmas to all my

Hope is the thing with
feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune—without
the words,
And never stops at all,
***
All you do is make people
laugh.
Thoughts are focused on
nothing except what's going on up onstage.
There are other people
enjoying the same thing.
There is friendly contact.
There is support given and
taken, sometimes without anyone ever knowing.
There is no judgment.
There is no negative
thinking.
The drive is not as lonely.
The future does not look as
hopeless.
In the black of life, there
was some light.
And all you did was make
people laugh.
***
If love is the treasure,
laughter is the key.
***
Never give up on your
dreams!
Merry Christmas.

This post isn’t for the tree
or wreath, just to simply express my gratitude. I have been reading this blog
for a short time now, after discovering it via Colin’s twitter, and finally got
the courage to actually post a reply. I wanted you guys to know just how much
your blog means. By sharing what you all are going through somehow helps me
deal with the depression and other things I have going on in my life. It is
hard to explain, but posting a reply and talking to someone REALLY helps. It is
easier to talk to people online rather than in person for me. Regardless of
whether or not anyone ever reads this, it is helping me. Even just having
something to look at and keep up with everyday helps!
So thank you so much!! You will
never know how something so small can help so much!

"Guess why I smile a
lot. Uh, 'cause it's worth it.
***
"So I'll say Merry
Christmas
I'll wish peace to you
I'll hope for the hopeless,
your dreams come true.
And I'll pray for the
laughter
I'll sing through the tears
I'll say Merry Christmas for
all the world to hear."
***
"All you need is
love."
***
"Hang in there."
***
"Peace and love to
all"
***
"Stay shiny"

In Western lands beneath the
sun
the flowers may rise in
spring
the trees may bud
the waters run
the merry finches sing
Or there may be this
cloudless night
and swaying beeches bare
the Elven stars as jewles
bright
amid their dancing hair
Though here at journeys end
I lie
in darkness buried deep
beyond all towers strong and
high
beyond all mountains steep
Above all Shadows rides the
sun
and stars forever dwell
I will not say the day is
done
nor bid the stars farewell

Love from Norway, no signs

out singing a song you believe in that tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang.
Sing it anyway!"

Life is a banquet, and most
poor suckers are starving to death.

“Fall, then figure out what to do on the way down.”

"Let there be so much
joy and love in you this Christmas it spills out to those around you!"

Peace, love and happiness!

The Best of Times Is Now.
What's left of Summer
But a faded rose?
The best of times is now.
As for tomorrow,
Well, who knows? Who knows?
Who knows?
So hold this moment fast,
And live and love
As hard as you know how.
And make this moment last
Because the best of times is
now,
Is now, is now.
Now, not some forgotten
yesterday.
Now, tomorrow is too far
away.
So hold this moment fast,
And live and love
As hard as you know how.
And make this moment last,
Because the best of times is
now,
Is now, is now.

Listen! I hear bells!
Here come all the shiny
gifts!

You sleigh me, Santa.

Dashing through the snow.
Santa is coming, my dear.
Are three ho's enough?

It's snowing outside.
I need something to keep
warm.

Hey Santa Baby,
I want one thing only please

The halls are all decked,
The fireplace is brightly
lit,
WHERE the HELL is HUGH??!!

Love and hugs
And Deb has written a holiday poem for you all!
And Christmas Time
Oh
festive of Elves, ahhh decker of halls,
Pourers
of shots, and rummers of balls
Up
nutmeg, up foam, on baker, on treats,
Dash
sprinkle of chocolate, where buzz and full meet
Why
season of joy, you do me so right
I meet
with long friends, and some, just tonight
We guffaw
and we whisper, surprises to come
We
reindeer the merry, and elf up the fun
We build,
almost bursting this day to become
when the
last cookie’s cookied and the last hymn is hummed,
And I
know it's scant weeks before I’ll start in
To rally
the Christmas, that's yet to begin.
And last but not least, this is the best way we could think to “send”
you all a Christmas card. Just click on the link! Deb and Barbara’s Christmas card.
Happy Holidays, everyone!!!!
