Re: My Christmas Message

[Guest guest]

To all my family members of HAWK,

I cannot have said it any better than Suzi or Tracey or than any of you

already have. MY only wish for us all is true health in the coming

year. May we all be blessed with good fortune, enough happiness, enough

challenges to help us grow, lots of love, understanding and compassion

(and this group is all of that). May you all have a truly wonderful

Christmas, but please be very safe and have a truly healthy and

wonderful New Year.

I offer a most humble and heart felt "Thank you" to all of you on Hawk.

You are all a truly outstanding group of people to know and I am very

grateful and humbled to know as many of you as I do. I have learned

much from all of you and as Suzi stated it has been a roller coaster

type of year. We all have had our ups and downs including me. I have

never seen or been on a group that is as close knit as this one. I

agree we are all family in our own special way, more than just friends.

It would truly be wonderful for us all to meet in person, who knows,

someday that may just happen.

In love, friendship and peace,

Peace be with you all on this special and magical time of year.

Thank you each and every one of you, for being on this list, making it

what it has become and most of all for each of you being who you are

and giving of yourself to each of us.

MERRY "CHIRST"MAS TO ONE AND ALL!

To All my Cherished friends at Hawk

This has been a roller coaster year here at HAWK.. We've seen

ups and downs, harmony and disagreements, happiness and sadness,

misplaced a few members temporarily, but rejoicing cause we found them

(JOHN, , etc)...

We have seen some members come and go...and come back again...

You just can't detach yourself from family too long..

We've had new lives borne and sadly, some have moved on with

their lives to a better place. We rejoice for the new lives starting

and yet, we also rejoice for those who have "graduated" (as I like to

put it).. on to the next journey of their life. We know they will

always be with us.

If I had a Christmas wish it would be to be able to meet all of

you who have been such a dear and wonderful part of my life. It is

funny how in many conversations between family and friends here I often

speak of "My friend in Australia, or my friend in California, Denver,

Philly, etc. " And sometimes friends look at me and say, you have

alot of friends, or how do you know all these people? I tell them

they are my friends, my family.

I've been on many lists over the years... but not one of them

can I truly say that I have TRUE FRIENDS

on, let alone family... You are what the Christmas spirit is all

about.

Tracey put it well when she said

Many of you have

touched my life with love and friendship this year that I did not know

still even existed in this world anymore. Thank you from the bottom of

my heart.

It is an honour

to have so many beautiful and special souls to share my journey with

even if for most of you it is only via the internet or telephone

Just think what a wonderful world this would

be if everyone was like many of the folks here, taking time to care and

give of themselves.

So, my wish for all of you is that you have a wonderful holiday,

filled with love and friendship, may it last thru 2007 and beyond. May

you live life as everyday is your last, love as if there was never

going to be a tomorrow, and treat others as you would want to be

treated. And remember our furry friends too!

As I end this message, the tears are welling up, as I have

realized I have my Christmas wish... I have all of you to truly call my

friend.

A very merry, blessed Christmas to all of you.

Suzi

I couldn't have said it better than Suzi, Don, Sharyn and all who have that same feeling. You truly understand the word and meaning of family. We HAWKS will fly like eagles in 07. We will be the talk of the world not just the town. Thanks for welcoming me into this great family--a priceless gift. I must say sometimes I miss a HAWK voice. I know I can scream at whenever as he's local and got his number, but sometimes it extends beyond that one person. A surprise call would be nice. Maybe some other HAWKS in US, although I would love to call the world but limited, have an "small" desire as this. I'm not afraid to share my phone number. Not everyone is comfortable with this. No I won't run over to your house as I don't want an address either. Email me if you feel this same way about sharing phone numbers with time zone. I best use my

cell free minutes on MST when they are down after 9 PM and then free weekends. Hugs to you all, great health and may all the desires of your heart be fullfilled, carolgDon Eitner <mysticalherbalist@...> wrote: To all my family members of HAWK,I cannot have said it any better than Suzi or Tracey or than any of you already have.

You're very welcome Shari... I have wanted to write this for the past week and the spirit has not moved me to do so until today. I could not find the words that would express my feelings until this morning. This group is very special to me. SUziSV <shavig@...> wrote: Oh my Suzanne, that was beautiful.

You all are such truly wonderful people and I am personally Blessed to have you all in my life. I know I don't speak much, as time has been kind of limited these days, but I read every word you all say and treasure each and every one of you. When I found this group...I knew I was where I needed to be, and it was fabulous.

Thanks to all of you for enriching my life and allowing me to be a part of yours.

I wish you all the best and I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas. I won't be around much this next week, but hopefully should be somewhat back to "normal" the following week.

Take care and have a fabulous New Year!!
