I know we may not all be people of faith or people who even celebrate Christmas . . .

I know we may not all be looking forward to Christmas Day as many of us are estranged from family or just struggling with life right now . . .

I know we may be disillusioned with the materialism displayed during this season . . .

But I want to send to all of you, wherever you may be in life right now, regardless of any of the above, my best wishes . . .

That your struggle be eased a bit . . .
That you find a bit of hope in your life . . .
That you find that spot of joy or comfort for yourself . . .
That you play a little, laugh a little, smile a little.

You are all people of great strength and character . . . people who care deeply and feel strongly . . . people who deserve a bit of peace in your lives.

My best wishes to a group a relative strangers of whom I have grown quite fond in this interesting little place we call the psychotherapy forum. We may not all see things the same way or agree with each other, but we DO share a common concern and interest in learning about and supporting each other through this interesting and often complicated adventure called therapy. It's easy to forget we have that common interest in mind and we focus on our differences and disputes, but the bottom line is that we all seem to want each other to find safe, effective, and useful support as we work towards healing.

Best wishes to all of you.

A group of whom i am also quite fond! The English teacher in you will appreciate that i turned around to walk back and correct the spelling on an outdoor chalk menu board today advertising chicken and waffles with sausage gravey. I dont even want to know what that is! But not in my town.
Thanks for this!

Thanks. That's very nice of you.
Christmas is not fun for me this year but in spite of it all, I still love it : all the lights, and the gifts and the food (especially the food). I'm in a bad place right now but your post is very touching so thanks again.

Thank you Christmas Wishes . . .

This Christmas is going to truly suck- but my daughter and I had a blast at Legoland Windsor resort (we live near London), and we still have some fun activities planned up to the day itself.

How fun! We have a Legoland near us but my boys were really too old for it by the time it opened. I'm glad you are enjoying some time with your daughter. That's what it's all about really.

Thanks. I have definitely had the opportunity to sing. I just finished 13 concerts in about 2 1/2 weeks. All I have left is Christmas Eve services, and I am really looking forward to that. My sons and I are singing together which promises to be a very lasting memory.
