Hi Maureen

You've got in early and I'm late ... so sorry. Today's the day for us and I wish you a wonderful and joyous Christmas and much health and happiness in the New Year. Your poem expresses such joy and peace with yourself and extends a lovely Christmas blessing. No real time for a longer review ... have to leave for Christmas lunch with my family an hour and a half's drive. Have a great day yourself. Love and blessings and huge hugs - Lovi xoxox

Oh Lovi! How great to come back to the soft, loving and creative spirit of Christmas. It seems so long. It was so wonderful. A celebration and consolidation of mush growth and wonder of yesteryear! But how great to connect and be inspired, nourished and encouraged for growth and expression anew! How grateful I am to awake with the inspiration and internet and stepping forth feel the excitement of life's potential flowering anew. Happy, healthy, creative 2016 and my love to you, Maureen*&*

Your lovely poem honoring the gift to be able to write and be friendly with each other here, pinpoints how blessed we are. We DO share all our happiness and fears, philosophies and experiences. We're all glad and sad for the writes shared with those who post them. Marilyn

Thanks Marilyn, my Christmas tree has certainly filled very rapidly, such a lovely finish to this new path-opening year. And, that capacity of sharing is truly the most precious nourishment for life and growth. And reviews and replies often enhance, empower and reinforce one's being and unfolding in unique ways. At the same time, one feels the wonder of being part of a global family. What a Christmas treasure trove for 2015! Even my computer help and neighbour yesterday told me he liked `Ararat'! Treasure your Christ-massed tree and season, Maureen*&*

Lovely to meet you, thanks. The response to this poem has been so fantastic, highlighting and strengthening every attribute and precious bond around the globe. It came as I was trying to resurrect a vision of two decades ago, into the light and life of my sharing and growth these past months on FanStory. I feel now I shall enjoy relaxing back, just letting this star shine, and just embrace the gifts of Christ and treasure their delights and bondings into the New Year. In that love and delight, Christ-massed blessings, Maureen*&*

I enjoy the tree, thank you for that.
It could be seen as too long for the message you convey. You love Fanstory like I do. It is a place of recognition and enjoyment for many.

Well said!
