A Christmas Wish from Me to You

I wish you a very Merry Christmas.  This wish is not just a simple wish.  In this wish I wish the following for all of my wonderful friends and family.  I wouldn’t be still standing on this journey without you.

  • I wish you moments of absolute joy to help make the sorrow tolerable.
  • I wish for you togetherness to make the loneliness seem a little less.
  • I wish you days of peace while you are on your journey to give you strength to continue.
  • I am certain that your personal guardian angel(s) are watching over you, I wish for you to be able to feel their presence and their love.
  • I wish for you times of quiet to help mitigate those stressful moments.

No matter what journey you are on, know that it is your journey.  Do not compare your journey to others and discount that your path can be tough.  No matter what your journey is (medical, financial, mental, spiritual, etc.) I would like to send you some important travel needs:

  • I send you pieces of titanium skin to help you continue to get back up when you are at your lowest.
  • I send you my thoughts and prayers so you know you do not walk your journey alone.
  • I send you a shield. Imagine on that shield all of the people in your life pictured to help you through.  My shield was ever changing because different people came into my journey to help me along.  I send you this shield to help deflect those self-demeaning and unhealthy thoughts.
  • I send you bits of my sarcastic and sometimes funny humor.  There is nothing more healing than a good laugh.  Learn to laugh at those things you cannot explain or control.  We only have one life, make it fun.
  • Lastly, my friends, I send you love and kindness.

Even though we may not talk much or see each other much know that I care and wish you a very Merry Christmas!
