[mistiis]

I don't have anything profound to say, or to put here from someone else. I don't have a fancy piece of poetry, or anything special to offer. I just have a strong feeling of connection with all my friends here. And I wish so much for the very best for everyone of us. Emotions are sometimes very hard to put into words. And I feel a bit silly even trying to do it. And yet, I feel that I must. I don't want something to happen down the road, and regret never having said it. So I say it now.

Everyone of you is precious. You are each precious to me. You each add something very special to my life. And I care. My prayer is that each of us will find the strength necessary to be as healthy and as happy as is possible. That we will each have the strength to do our best, whatever that 'best' is. And be content with it. To find a place of deep peace within the wellspring of our Spirits. That each of us will soar, and help others to soar as well. That we can recognize when we need mending, and allow that. Ok, I just want to tell you how much I love you all. Happy New Year....may it bring us all greater love...and deeper peace....
