New Year Greetings

I would like to wish all who call by here, as friends, regular visitors or passers by, happiness, peace, good health and prosperity in 2009. I'll share one of my favourite blessings from Iona:

God bless our good dreaming.
Lift us out of our dull and lifeless moments
so that we may tumble with fools,
skip with children,
walk on water
and fly with angels.

Happy New Year!
Maureen

  2. You can't beat a good Celtic blessing can you, M? May those good wishes be returned to you a hundredfold.

    I'm raising a metaphorical glass to our deepening friendship and to many more meetings in 2009.

    PS Are you still up for that quilting course ... ?

  6. Happy New year to you too M, and to all your family and friends - virtual ones included. I enjoy being part of this little international community and although not very 'vocal', I take great pleasure in travelling to the different Blogs who visit at Random Distractions, and reading them I am affirmed in my certainty that there a many lovely people in our world.

  7. Crinny, you are so right. There are so many lovely people that I would not have encountered but for blogging.

    Nan, I love my visits to your Hill Farm and hope that you and yours have a good 2009.
