Friday's Letters {Dear Santa Edition}

Dear Santa-

I'd be fibbing if I told you I had been good all year long (and we all know you can see for yourself); however, I was pretty good and that counts, right? So this year I'm only asking for a few things.

This year I want you to bring me patience to endure the trials next year will bring and forgiveness to heal the wounds left by last year. I pay you grant me peace to lay to rest any anger, guilt or grudges I still hold. I ask for you to bless F with a gorgeous ring to go with her wonderful man; to give K the confidence to see the phenomenal woman I see as my best friend; grant my brother the ability to continue to be a loving father even miles away; provide Mom with many more years of health (and through in some wealth; and shower V&D with my love so they know how much I truly appreciate them.

Send my friends in blogland a little piece of joy from my heart to theirs and let them know how much I love sharing my life with them. Give the love of my life the ability to see what I need out of life and grant him the power to see my life in its truest form. Show him kindness and humility (and Lord give him patience to endure me).

Santa, place in every one's stocking a little bit of love and kindness, wrap presents of compromise and humility and put it under the White House Christmas tree and send angels bearing joy throughout the world.

So, dear sweet Santa, I do not ask for much this year except that you bring good tidings and cheer to those I love and cherish, to those less fortunate than I, sweep the world with love and hope for better years to come and let us all have a joyous Christmas time.
