Christmas day

The sun has come up again! There's a present for you! DH is still cuddled all snug in his bed. I started the day with the breakfast of champions - cold left-over pizza and a cup of tea - and have been checking out blogs from around the world. Some guy is trying to deep-fry gnocci, and laughing insanely when they begin to explode. And Jeff Foxworthy has posted a redneck Christmas that I've gotta forward to my brothers! My blog buddies open my eyes to a world of wonder, fun, tenderness and reality. Someone I know is in the hospital with kidney failure. We've gotta stop by and gift him with our care. Someone I know is finished with chemo and getting ready to start radiation. I send healing wishes her way every time I pick up my knitting. Someone has posted a picture of a delighted little girl dancing with joy over her gift. Someone shared a gingerbread cookie recipe and someone shared a picture of her Christmas table.

Thank you, thank you for inviting me into your lives! Thanks for showing me the weather in your neck of the woods, for telling me what it's like to live with fibromyalgia, two photogenic cats, or an etsy shop. This year, may you all find that rainbow with the metaphorical pot of gold. May your heart be so full of happiness that it cracks wide open. May contentment and gratitude shine out of your light fixtures and may you find a way to get what you want more than anything in the world. Merry Christmas and all the best for 2011!
