I'd write anyway.<BR/><BR/>People are the most important thing to me at Christmas, getting together, catching up, and like you, being thankful we all had one more year.<BR/><BR/><B>Spirit</B> - Believe it or not.. I completely understand! I agree, it is bigger than being published... I count myself lucky that I feel the way I do, I wasn't always this way.<BR/><BR/><B>Chloe</B> - Most of the credit really goes to Maryan, she made me believe in Christmas again. Last year, I was unemployed the money was running out, and she still wanted us to 'adopt' an Angel tree' family, and we did.<BR/><BR/>Amazingly enough, the week after we agreed to do that, I got the call for the project I'm still working on!<BR/><BR/>Life itself, is incredibly strange.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07338910000372628114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9922132.post-1133813262396341172005-12-05T15:07:00.000-05:002005-12-05T15:07:00.000-05:00I'm so glad there are still people like you and yo...I'm so glad there are still people like you and your wife left in this world, Bill!Chloehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13478079861724476336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9922132.post-1133800393891080202005-12-05T11:33:00.000-05:002005-12-05T11:33:00.000-05:00You know, that's wonderful stuff Bill. This might ...You know, that's wonderful stuff Bill. This might sound strange to say, but it's almost secondary that you've had it published. Let me try to explain what I mean! Of course it's great that people get to read it and find your message, but it's almost above congratulations in a "hey, you got it published" sense, because it's in many ways above that. I'm not sure I can explain it. Well. Great stuff, thanks Bill.Spirit Of Owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12650481514046944156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9922132.post-1133799793021692402005-12-05T11:23:00.000-05:002005-12-05T11:23:00.000-05:00Bill,Just got caught up on your recent posts, man....Bill,<BR/><BR/>Just got caught up on your recent posts, man. Congrats on getting another article published. You're on a roll. <BR/><BR/>It's sometimes hard to capture that Holiday Spirit after it's faded. For me, I've had a lot of bad times all centered on Christmas, and I don't think I'll ever be as much of a "holiday person" as I once was. That, and having the season start before Halloween wears you out. <BR/><BR/>You hit on some important issues in that article. It's easy to feel fortunate when you realize that others have so little, and, in the scheme of things, you have so much. Anymore, I'm mainly about having a nice time with the people I like the best and appreciating the fact that I have the pleasure of their company for another year.<BR/><BR/>Good stuff, bro.Patrick M.

Even when the kids were small and I was a single parent, the kids loved picking a name off the tree and buying a present for another child who had less than they did. So even children love giving, they understand it when they taught.Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15383280445002541782noreply@blogger.com
