As I struggle to find good things to deal with this holiday season and things to brighten my constantly being dampened spirits, I am having a difficult time finding enough thanks and ways to stretch my arms to give big enough hugs to the secret santas that have graced us with their generosity this season by sending gifts to the shelter kids at Especially Ferrets. I can't find enough kind thoughts for those who have offered me their wisdom and help in getting over the recent hurdles that have blocked my way this season. I am overwhelmed with thankfulness and well wishes for all of you who are too numerous to name and some whom I am too worn out to remember...those of you who took time out of your busy lives this holiday season to touch my life with kindness and love in order to make my day a better one. I thank you one and all for all you have given to my family and ferrets alike. You have made me realize that no matter the adversity I face, I am truly blessed with the friendship and support you have all given me in the last few days and if I have 3 more lifetimes, it wouldn't be enough to give back the blessings I have rec'd. Thank you, thank you, thank you and may you all have a safe, memorable, holiday season and enjoy it with all your loved ones. Ferretguy [Posted in FML issue 3277]
