CHRISTMAS CANDLELIGHT: A REFLECTION

Have you ever seen such a beautiful couple? One that has managed to stay together through thick (skin!) and thin (ice!), remaining close after all these years, complementing each other's personalities like apple pie and ice-cream?

A duo so absolutely adorable, staring into each other's eyes, just as they did a long, long time ago, perhaps the first time they met, on a candle-lit eve, much like tonight, their hearts a little flustered, their eyes a glow, aware that, for the very first time, they had found love, peace and understanding?

These joyous and spirited feelings of friendship and harmony between couples, countries, parents and their children, sisters and brothers, are deeply felt throughout this festive holiday season. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if they were genuinely shared all year long?

I'd like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all of you who have graced this little blog with your thoughtful presence, visiting and taking the time to leave such lovely comments, even when your days are a busy and bustling whirlwind of work, family and chores!

You can't possibly know how much I truly appreciate hearing from you! Your kind and caring words have been such a bouquet of inspiration, from the very first day, back in May, when Poppyview debuted in this big, bold blogosphere!

As the new kid on the block, I simply hoped that someone... anyone (!), would drop by, even for a bit, if only to say, "Hey there, nice to meet you!".  To my delight, you popped over, and luckily for me, have stayed a while and I couldn't be happier! 

In turn, you have graciously opened up your 'doors' and invited me in for a chat and details about your newest project or latest trip. Other times, perhaps even more importantly, we have been there for each other- support, from a now familiar voice, albeit, sometimes far away in miles, but nearby in our thoughts and prayers. Ultimately, isn't that what friends are for?  Ditto for blogger buddies, I'm sure.

    And so, on this cozy, candlelit eve,
 I wish you all a very Merry Christmas. 

May joy and peace be felt in your hearts,
 and those of our fellow man, around the world.

~Poppy~
