My Christmas party (a.k.a. Holiday Social) for work is this evening and I am growing more excited by the minute. Earlier today, I had to cancel a get together with my friend, Johnny, because of a miserable cold. I didn't want to take a chance on being far away from home if I started feeling worse. However, the party tonight is just down the road and I am going to pump myself full of drugs for it.
Just like the manner in which I first met, Johnny, I met my friend, Abbe, through Facebook because of the flag incident this summer. Abbe was living in Ontario at the time but has since moved to Truro with her husband and daughter. Now her husband works with me and they will be at the social tonight. So, now I will get to meet Abbe in person!
I have met so many fantastic people since August; I can't believe how many new friends I have; and all through Facebook. Glenda C. and I have many game challenges going on and talk regularly on the phone. Not sure when we'll get a chance to meet but a trip to Ontario is definitely on the agenda. Glenda H.R. lives a few hours away and we will eventually get together if we can get our schedules right. Lorraine B. and Peter W. may take a little longer, living across the Big Pond as they do, but I have always wanted to visit England so it will just be a matter of time. Raven & Alan, I don't know, I have this long held belief that the minute I land on the west coast, the big one will hit so you two may take a little longer. Perhaps we can manage something on this side of the Rockies. :-) Charles: we met at the rally and have become good friends, even though I was that strange woman who wanted him to speak.
Then, of course, there are all those folks with whom I don't chat on a regular basis but who have been very supportive of me and the whole flag issue. My friend list has exploded and it would take far to long to list you all. Simply know that I thank you and if I don't touch base with you, please do so with me.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joyful Holidays to you all. May peace, love and understanding be with you throughout December and the coming year. Oh, and take time to enjoy an early morning walk in the snow, even you Glenda H.R.
