I hope you aren’t reading this today. I hope you are surrounded by family or good friends. Sleeping in, eating rich foods and enjoying the day. But if you are reading this…then may I be the first to wish you
a Very Merry Christmas from my Family to Yours!
and then to wish myself a
a Very Happy Birthday
Yes, today really is my birthday. As a sidenote, I accept good advice, constructive criticism and lots of cheerleading…not just on my birthday but every day. Just saying!
I hope you know that there is a Reason for this Season. I hope you find that Reason. And most of all, if you are alone or a single parent like me, know that with all my heart I wish you love and peace today. It’s very hard to be a single parent on this day, very hard. Know that you are not alone, and I for one am thinking of you. You are loved, you are thought of and you are important.
