Today provided no exception to my awe of this forum.
Thank You. Because, the power of peoples words, their giving nature and spirit has made an incredible difference in one young ladies thoughts, smile and year. Kaitlyn has been flying on cloud nine since she signed on and discovered emails galore and comments that addressed her, her thoughts, her question and her little self. I believe she read everyone's comments at least 5 times.
She still believes in Santa she declared :::huge Mom smile:::
And I declare, not to scare anyone, but if I could crawl through my computer tonight, I would just to give everyone a big old sappy hug. You made my day too.............
~Huge Heartfelt Thank You ~
~From Two Gals Who Appreciate Your Gift of Time and Words Very Much~~~~>
I've been gathering my 12th month reflections here in my mind. It's about time for me to surmise my year, tie out the strings, and mark the year 2005 down in history. I went back and read my last December entries, just to see where I was, what I was thinking.
I know right now, I've certainly learned a few new lessons this year, to last me a lifetime. The years just keep coming, and keep dishing out lessons and experiences. Some of it I treasure, some of it I wish I could pretend never happened and some of it I'm still out in lala land about.
I figure at this rate, by the time I'm 60 I can hopefully close up shop and ride the rest of the years out in wisdom filled peace. It's rather funny, because I know when I was mucking through my twenties I kept thinking, if I can make it to the thirties I'm sure I'll have figured it all out. Probably the only thing I've figured out, is that it is naive to think I'll ever really have it 'figured' out. I think I need to quote myself on that one, hang it up above the old computer and laugh at myself everytime I think I've stepped onto a brink of thoughtful revelation! History, future, past and tomorrow, a relatively subjective thing thats as complicated as a Pandora's box.
Today, I'll just bask in the fact that many people made a beautiful difference in my families life today. A nice thing to bask in if I may say so myself~~

You are quite welcome. It was nothing less than my pleasure to see an inquisitive young mind grapple and seek to reconcile a serious issue like Santa. I'm not sure my words helped, but collectively, j-land can provide support like no other community. We're a powerful bunch, but you already knew that. :)

Yay! Santa rocks!

Yeeeeeha !
Was a pleasure to read and comment on Kaitlyns blog and hey i read today she wants to be a drummer in a good scots band !
A girl after my own heart ......when i was wee i wanted to be a drummer in a rock band then when i grew up i just wanted to be Sharleen Spitteri from the scots band Texas ....im still waiting for simon cowell to call hehe x
What a beautiful pair the two of you make. I very much enjoyed your daughters journal. She is so sweet and innocent. She even writes poems. It would not surprise me if she didn't become a writer. I believe writing is good for the soul. Here is to wishing the both of you a great next year. TerryAnn
I've always told my chidlren to think before opening their mouth; that what they say might make a huge difference in somebody's life. *The picture of you and
Kaitlyn* is precious. Merry Christmas to you both.
Hugs, love & prayers

Hey loved commenting in Kaitlyn's journal about Santa an her wish to be in the band. Sure others felt the same way, know I enjoyed doing it. Will check her journey for her future thoughts. She and you are adorable in your picture, thanks for sharing it with all of us. Merry Christmas to you and yours...........AJ
I think that was one of those things that made US feel good.
Santa & Christmas- she should hang on as long as she can.
I truly enjoyed reading Kaitlyn's journal, her poems are beautiful and so is she! It is a priceless gift to have a daughter (or two!) and to be as close as you are...wishing you warm and happy holidays, MIchelle ;o)
We should be thanking you... Your daughter definitely has your way with words. I really enjoyed reading her journal.... I think you are right and you have quite a talented little one there to nurture!
Had we known of her place sooner <ahem> she would've won the VIVI for Best young person's award!
Now we know ;)
You're welcome and thank you, too... for allowing us to glimpse inside such a mind. I can't wait for more~young people keep us youthful and wondering :)
Have a good one, Rebecca...

Hi Rebecca!
Just wanted to wish you a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
Your daughter has a journal. Wow, I can't get any of my sisters to write one. Its funny because my youngest sister loves to read. I'll go check your daughter's journal out.
Charles
Oh, you two have so much in common. What a dynamic duo. LOL!
Cyndy
and as your years unfold, and are whisked through the 30"s, 40's, & 50's you will find many answers, but will also have encountered new questions!
Life is a process........the platform you are standing on today, is only a stepping stone for where your heart, mind and soul will be tomorrow!
Peace~~~ Marc :)
Glad to help and leave a comment on the little ladies journal. That's what friends do, they watch your back. - Julie -
Merry Chistmas to you and yours or if you prefer Happy Holidays....either way hope you have a wonderful Holiday season.......if you don`t I`d blame that damn Kurt Busch( there`s no joke like an incredibly old one!)
Might I add you have blessed me with your words thru the year. So there is some mutality there. I find you enriching and always straight forward. I love those qualities. Appreciate you.
Be blessed
