A Christmas Wish

Posted on by writerchick

You know I was talking to a very dear friend on the phone Friday night and found myself so joyful in just our simple exchange of what was going on in our lives. The good, the bad, the exciting, the mundane – honestly the content didn’t matter one twig. All that mattered was that I was talking with someone to whom I feel truly connected. And I realized that that is how I feel about all of my friends. A deep and abiding kindredness of spirit. Which is why I always feel so wonderful to be in their company. Even when we are being miserable together (if that makes any sense?).

And I said to him, ‘you know my biggest wish is to someday have all my friends in the same place and spend Christmas together.’ Just saying it out loud brought it that much more to life for me. It was as though I was looking into the future and seeing every friend I have in the world, all in one place having the time of their lives. I could hear the music, smell and taste the food, feel the warmth of the fire and the vibration of the laughter.

I have so many friends in so many parts of the world – many of whom I see rarely and many whom I haven’t been in the same room with for years. The idea of throwing a big lasso over all of you and drawing you into the same place brings such joy and warmth into my heart it almost makes me cry. Especially those whom I’ve never actually met in the flesh, the real world. Thanks to technology I’ve found some real soul mates and kindred spirits and it is a profound goal of mine to meet each and every one. And so I shall.

All things happen for a reason I think. If I hadn’t done this, or worked there or got a computer or an internet connection there are so many wonderful people I’d never have come to know and love. That I was meant to know and love.

I am truly blessed.

So don’t be too surprised if one Christmas in the not too distant future an invitation arrives, or a limo pulls up to whisk you away to my big Christmas gathering. I’ve found that if I wish hard enough and long enough my wishes do come true.

Much love to you all.

  2. I would go. Just let me know.

    Oh, you would? Fantastic! Maybe if you still have your rig, we can work out some transportation. LOL, wouldn’t that be funny, loading everybody into a truck like a load of presents?

  3. A warm fire and hearty laughter are two things that I can’t resist.

    Aw Fuzzy, you’re just an old softie [but your secret is safe with me 😉 ]. And of course you know, I could never have this party without you.

  5. Don’t have my rig any longer but I know where to get one. We could put lots and lots of people on a flatbed. Giving the CHP a heart attack would be fun too.

    Of course I would come with Mrs. Squawk, I would not miss it.

    LOL – I can just see that flatbed now. Lots of glitter and streaming ribbon. Heck we might even got a po-lice escort. hehe. Of course Mrs Squawk would come with you – that goes without saying. 😉

  6. For the number of friends you have, not big enough (You’ll probably need a colisceum 😉 ) but who cares? Our house is open for the party!

    LOL! Well then maybe we can use your place as the ‘staging area’ 😉

  7. Sure wish I could spell…. colosseum is what I meant to say. You know, one of those huge arena thingies that seats thousands? 😉

    Heck hon, I don’t care how you spell it (how about ‘call em & see em’?) As long as I don’t have to provide lions to eat christians, I’m all for it. 😉

  8. You know that I’ve already started planning this whole scenario…ok, so maybe there was another little motovation involved but it would still mean meeting up! hehe

    Yes, I can hear them little wheels turning like crazy. Guess great minds think alike (or psycho minds, lol, take your pick) 😉

  9. Hope I’m on the list!! (hehehe) 🙂

    Actually, (hoping in 2008) i’m planning a trip (with my diet buddy) to Winchester Mansion (maybe we could meet up for a day or two??) (I’m not sure how far of a drive that would be for you, but i figure if you can drive all the way across country-a drive within your own state-shouldn’t be bad!!) we’ll stow you away in our hotel room!! (hehehe)

    Well of course you’re on the list you big nut. I don’t know what Winchester Mansion is or where it is – but you do realize that the state of California is about 1500 miles long – which is about the distance of California to Louisianna. It’s not like MI which you can cross in a couple hours. LOL. Send me an email about it.

  11. Even when we are being miserable together (if that makes any sense?). – Yes it does, misery loves company right? 😉

    Kidding aside, the internet sure made it easy for us all to meet and connect with people from around the world. Here’s hoping that this Christmas, we’ll all be lucky enough to spend time with the people we love, those we can connect and truly be ourselves with. Cheerio!

    That’s a very lovely wish, Em and I’ll share it with you.
