I want to tell you all how much it has meant to me and how thankful I am to have had you all for friends..
You have seen me through some very hard times in the past year...
You were with me when I lost my sweet sister and when my brother was ill and when I lost my foal and through my illness and then the deceit of my husband and the end of my marriage and many others disappointments..Well it's over and done and time to go willingly into a new year that by odds has to bring better times!
My wish list for you my friends:
May your path be just rocky enough for you to appreciate the smooth patches..
May it rain just enough for you to appreciate the sun...
May the sun shine just enough for you to appreciate the oak shading you..
May you make just enough mistakes to forgive others theirs..
May your eyes be opened to the true value of the world around you and see what riches you have...
I wish for you a flickering light when it is the darkest..
I wish for you a kind word when the tears run down your face..
I wish for you life's compass when you think you've lost your way..
I wish for you a hand when you have fallen hard and aren't sure you can get up...
I wish for you warm arms to encircle you when you shiver in the cold...
But mostly..
I hope you will be the one to hold the light in the darkness..
speak the kind word when needed...
Point out the direction to the lost..
reach out a hand to the needy..
be the one to offer warmth to the cold..
Because..
This will be the answer to all your dreams..
This will be when your heart will be full..
And a full heart can ward off the darkness..
And keep you warm..
and help you up..
and dry your tears..
and make you Rich and FULL!!!

Together we will stay sane
To support and love
For both of us to fly free like the beautiful dove
We can help each other
Just like a sister and brother
Raydene you are a very good friend to me
Survival is our key
The new year is nearly here
Our goals are clear
We will grow stronger
Look forward, don't look back
So pick up a glass and raise it to all our friends
Toast the new year in
Knowing that we will never ever give in

What a wonderful person you are, raydene, and I wish the same for you. I have not gotten the chance to know you as well as some of the others, perhaps, but I am aware of your presence even when you don't hear from me for awhile. Always remember: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. [Smiles]

Sweetie thank you and I wish the same for you
Yes you have had a bad Year and I really hope that you will have a better one in the new Year I really do
We are about to close the last Chapter of my old Life here and as emotional and sick it is making me at the moment it will be the last of my old Life to go
All I want from this is that my Children will now be able to move on in Life and have a good one
Love you Sweetie and I wish you happiness and Love xxxx

I am grateful to have you as a friend Raydene, and I hope that 2008 is kinder to you than 2007. You have had a rough year, but you have come through it, and you are stronger than ever. You are an inspiration!
Take care my friend. May 2008 be the best year ever!

I wish all those things for you too, Hon. Bless you and may you come through all the bad things you've gone through and be happy again. This year will be better, I just know it! I'm sorry I didn't get to this discussion sooner. I've been saying this too many times these past few days! I fell disgustingly behind so now I'm playing catch-up. Belated Happy New Year!
