THIS SEASON - GOOD OR BAD

HELLO !

Well , gifting was evident , but sparse .I got the greatest gift of all .What was it ? you might say .It was the camaraderie of a new family and it,s members in my life.I haven,t dwelt on it , but , this was the first CHRISTMAS without my beloved second wife who passed in JUNE .

I made it due to ALL of you and my close friendship with new folks in my life. I hope you all found peace and pleasure on the best day of the year .I reveled in the little ones ripping through the gay , bright wrapping and the looks on their faces when they saw what was inside.

My most favorite was looking at my reflection and realizing that although age and trauma are marking my countenance , I was here to see all that transpired . With that said , did you , or have you realized that even we may never meet face to face , I am very grateful for the friendship of each and every one of you ? I hope the winter storms did you no harm .

For now , that,s all that,s on my mind .May your new year be prosperous and calm . tankerbuilder

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you

Yes, I too, have been grateful to find so many friendly folks here, even though I will never meet you all. I do think of the forum members as friends.
