Hello dear friends, sorry to have not been on the blog for sometime, but even if i'm not posting something I'm often reading it !
I awoke this morning , thinking how greateful I am to have had the life I have had even if it has been very hard sometimes!
I realised that the refining fire of lifes travails is what has turned the lead into gold ...do you know that part in Handels Messiah ?...I used to sing it when I was in the school choir , and it always brought tears to my eyes, because at that time all I could feel was the heat , and sometimes it was unbearable !
BUT the great thing about getting older is that we can now look back and see how far we all have come !
I often felt totally alone , and so now I cannot bear the thought of it for others who may find that their experience at christmas...and have to do my little part to help out .
The best xmas card I received this year was from Swann...full of joy , fun images and great memories..feeling a part of each others life is so vital for me ...so thank you swann , for such an inspiring idea and to the dao where we can connect through the ether!
I've posted up an image from my 50th party of myself and my kids Sam and Yolanda....it says it all......what a great priviledge to have brought up these fab people , when i so nearly didn't make it !
I send you all my dearest good wishes for a peacful christmas and more joy , no matter what our circumstances ,in the new year.
yours

Dear Fuchsy,
I echo your sentiments about the refiner's fire in the Messiah. It is one of my favourite passages. The ordeals we have to pass through in life eventually are seen to make us stronger, turning our leaden impurities into gold!

Love from Nam Sandwich
