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?
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.
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.
and those of our fellow man, around the world.

ReplyDeleteLike yourself I too have enjoyed your contact,comments,posts and beautiful photographs throughout the time we have been following each others blogs. I admit to not being able to comment with great frequency during the school terms because of work but try and make up for it when I'm allowed to indulge in my blogging which is rapidly becoming and addiction.
