10 Days Later...
It's been that long since we've last met. There aren't any complex excuses for my absence other than I've been tired. It's as simple as that. I've been tired. There are certain reasons why I've been so tired, but for now I will keep those reasons to myself and the chosen few who are helping me as I head into my own "blue Christmas." I apologize for my neligence and thanks to all who have written me wondering where I've been.
I realized that this past Thanksgiving, I never really took the opportunity to thank everyone that I consider to be essential in my life. I am lucky to be surrounded by amazing friends and family members who I truly do, even though I may not display it, appreciate so much every day of my life. I feel as if I'm standing behing the podium on Oscar night...as the music swells, attempting to cut off my blabbering, let me now extend my thanks and admiration.
On a lighter note, I received my first Christmas cards of 2004 this week. For those who read the site, let me acknowledge that the holiday season has now officially bombarded us by wishing you a great one.
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral, celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all...and a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2005, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great, (not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country or is the only "AMERICA" in the western hemisphere), and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, or sexual orientation of the wishee.
(By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms. This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher...So there.)

I'm sorry to hear about your upcoming "blue Christmas" We'll have to figure out a way to make things not-so-blue. Also, I love that holiday greeting and disclaimer! Lisa
