Give thanks

A special thank you to a special person ..... Sandra ............

I didn't know where to start yesterday as i had no gifts for any of my family ........

the kids are so excited about going to the woods and collecting holly Saturday, but i was feeling anxious inside .......

what do you do when you have no money to buy what the kids are asking Santa for ?

they haven't asked for much, but i was struggling to buy single gifts ........

then i got talking to a special kind of angel and she took a day off to take me on a tour of things Ive never been to see ........

i didn't know where we were going, she just asked me to cancel any plans and shed collect me at 9.30 am......... so on the bus we went on our journey ........

what a fantastic person she is and how lucky am i to have such a kind person in my life .....

we spent all day and most of the evening, just walking and talking, we walked for miles...........

just talking about past, present and future , and she changed my whole outlook completely...

we watched the skaters at the ice rink, and arm in arm strolled through the city as she was telling me things, that made me feel so much better as a person .........

I'm not money driven, far from it and its all got so commercialised now ...

and this year i have to install values in them about the real meaning of this special time of year .......

so i came home last night very tired but happy that we'd made some sense of it all ....

i cant give my kids what they see on the TV, but what i have done is something i think will show them how to compromise .......... and how much i care .......

they have a special gift to wrap.......... but its to be shared .....equally between them ....

I'm happy that Ive done my best and I'm sure they will be happy too ...

it seemed to inspire others too as i had a nephew visit me last night and he brought something for me, he told me to wrap it up from Santa as he no longer played with it ..............bless

yesterday was full of surprises ..... i did miss something i was really looking forward to and couldn't say why i wasn't going, as i didn't know myself what was taking place yesterday either...
all i knew this lady wouldn't ask me to miss something she knows i love unless there's good reason, and a good reason it was .........

she really is a true Christmas angel, her inside kindness shines through ...........

shes helped me so much over the years without thought for herself has spent a lifetime caring for others and gives you inspiration that there are some real diamonds shining out there ...

the kids are making gifts today, and I'm giving gifts that cannot be bought .......

so although its been a tough time, I'm feeling really positive thanks to a special kind star ....

we didn't spend anything except just a little precious time ...............

merry Christmas to you my friend ....................

you really are a kind spirit we all need at christmas .........
