Dear Friends,
This has been a year of profound loss and change for Yours Truly, but along with that loss and change came the amazing grace and comfort of a world that is beyond my imaginings. I have been wrapped in your warm wishes, carried on your supportive shoulders, and been blessed to count you as one of the lovely gifts of my life.
My wish for you in the new year is that you will have at least one moment of knowing how much you matter in this world, and how loved you are by someone who had the good fortune to feel that way too.
With all my love,
Coni
Thinking of you this Christmas, sending you a big hug and a warm smile. Enjoy some cosy sleeps in that comfy chair and do what makes you happy. Love and best wishes for 2017 - We'll be here for you! xx

ReplyDeleteYou've experienced so much of what Frank Sinatra called "That's Life" this year. We can only hope it gets a little better. What a hard year you have had. I consider myself one of your peeps, even though we have never met. Have a peaceful and reflective Christmas Coni.
ReplyDeleteYou brought a happy tear to my eye. I faced the challenge of accepting childhood abuse this year, and turned to you many times for reassurance that life can and does go on, and that even in the darkest of pain there is always a shining hope. And some pretty nice stitching!
ReplyDeleteYou are a treasure of a friend. Merry Christmas to you and happy new year

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Coni. Thank you for being you and sharing your very own special being-ness (yes, that's a word... I just made it up) with the world. It takes courage to do that. The double gift you give is inspiring others to share their own special being-ness with the world. It's a win/win/win situation. Enjoy your holiday.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and happy stitching in 2017, Coni.

ReplyDeleteHi, I've just stumbled upon your blog and read through several posts. I am so sorry at your loss of little Stewie. I lost my special girl, Princess, three years ago and I still miss her so much. Time helps but you will always miss your little guy. I like your blog very much - especially your sense of humor - and will visit again. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and that you find another special friend in 2017.
