Months ago I came here to lurk, and find help and hope. Those parts were easy!
Then Claudia had the ornament exchange. Mind you, I am not much for participation,rather preferring to be the shadow in the back, but I jumped in.
I had such excitement joy and old fashioned fun creating my west coast friends ornament!
Then, I tried to patiently wait for mine to arrive. I received a lovely note explaining delays, so filled wih love! Then my beautiful egyptian glass ornament arrived to be placed on my tree, and now rest with Dad.
2 days ago, another note! From my secret sister! A beautifully chosen card and written words of encouragement from something I posted. Enclosed was also a bracelet, Alexa's Angels, Positivity, from her wrist to mine.
I am a closed person, a silent Pisces, ever strugglng upstream, faking a rough sharp front! I am humbled, and I am grateful.
In time, my CSI will assist me to id my Secret Sister.
For now, my gratitude and Peace to all.

    Very cool!
    So nice! It's great that you have been willing to reach out to others despite your natural reserve, too--it can be really difficult to do!

    Hope you keep finding hope & help here.

    Blessings, Sandy

    Yes, I agree wholeheartedly.
    Yes, I agree wholeheartedly. As I took my tree down this year and packed up my ornaments, I placed mine from my secret sister back in the box it arrived in with the special note. It will bring joy and memories for many years as I decorate for Christmas. Thanks, again, Chen!!

    I had no idea, when I suggested an exchange, just how fun, and especially how meaningful this would become to us. I have a much better idea of how to do it more efficiently next year! I had so many participants that it dawned on me how to do a better job with less confusion! I thank you for putting up with me, and for being part of something so special!

    Hugs,
    Claudia
