In the song the twelve days of Christmas I never really thought of what day the first day would be? Of course December 13th begins the new season the first day. Are you going to treat the Love in your life special for each of these next 12 days? What gift can you give? I am the first person that I need to Love, So I will give to myself Love to share with others and hope that my love is reciprocated and returned or even requested. Will you follow?

Of course,we all need to love ourselves before we can love others. I'll happily share love with others if I like them.

If you like them? What determines if you like a person? I know what I'm looking for and I like almost all people I can even deal civilly with people who have hurt me, but I don't like being; hurt, lied to, or lied about. My father used to say that he hated liars and cheats... He used to say that he loved everybody and that hate was just a form of love as the world is all shades of grey. My father was a little messed up I think it was by association. I need some time to explain that last comment and I'm not at liberty to do justice to what I mean when I write those words. Rest assured that there is something moving in the world to expose the root cause of the pain and suffering that I have been exposed to. Letters can be arranged in a fashion to reveal the true intent of a person, if only you could see what I see... I'd love to share, if only I could... Peace and Blessings, Sincerely, Gary

For me liking or not liking a person depends on their behaviour. I can only really say whether I like or dislike someone if I've met them in person and sometimes on here. My dad never said he hated anyone it was the behaviour he disliked and I think that was entirely fair. What he disliked most was a liar. I remember his words, 'you can lock things away from a thief but you have no protection against a liar'. I'm glad I can't see things from your view as I'm married to a deep thinker and it has led to him suffering badly from depression. The world needs people like you and people like me to keep a balance. I have been so lucky in my life and have always been surrounded by loving people. I have always appreciated it but as I grow older I realise that I am one of the richest people in the world. Not in money but in what is important. Take care.

I'm hearing you give your husband accolade, it is so important to know that we are loved and cared about even when we think deeply about all sorts of things. Yes, we are richly blessed if we share ourselves and at that point money really has no value, but in our world being rich is not a crime. So I hope to be richly blessed in all ways... Or is that richly blessed for always? Either way it sounds pretty good. Peace and Blessings to you and yours, Sincerely, Gary

Oh that's beautiful! Yes, I agree, that I must give love to myself. I am the most important person to me as life flows through me and I am the channel that sees the world through my eyes. Without myself... well. But Christmas is yet here again, a year from your post. I am working on treating myself better by decorating my house. Festivities are wonderful to me because they are fun. Fun is important. Also to share with others is good. And will have to go Christmas shopping soon!
