Thank You and Happy New Year
Permalink  


As the new year approaches, I no longer live in ignorant bliss that this day symbolizes great things will happen nor do I live in dread that this day will be a continuation of the drudgery of the past.


 


I walk along side each of you who have touched my lives innumerably and for which I am so grateful.  As many of you have heard me say “Don’t walk behind me, I may not lead.  Don’t walk in front of me, I may not follow.  Just walk beside me and be my friend.”  That says it all for me as I share this road to recovery with all of you.  I am blessed to have this site for which I have been a part of over one year now.  I am blessed to be able to post and reply to posts.  And most of all, I am blessed by all of you who call me your friend. 


 


Perhaps you sent a lovely card


or sat with me and listened


quietly in a chair...


Perhaps you sent me a gift from your heart


If so, they are still with me today...


Perhaps you spoke the kindest


words as any friends could say...


Perhaps you were not there at all.


just prayed for me that day....


 


Whatever you did  to console my heart



I thank you whatever the part


from the bottom of my heart.


 


Feeling grateful and filled with much love for all of you,


Maria
