Mr. Claus comes through!

If you read my letter to Mr. Claus last December you may be thrilled to get an update on what's happened in this first half of the year. If you haven't read it, clink the link and get the scoop, then return for the updates. 

Dear Mr. Claus:

The spirit of Mr. Claus has come through in ways I could never expect. Whether direct or indirect in cause, my Christmas wishes have all come true in some degree. 

Wish #1 is in the works. 

1. My friend has been typed for a kidney and is being matched. She is loving her life and living boldly. She knows I would give her one if I could. A work in process!! 

Visitors from Texas will soon arrive. 

2. My family is coming to visit in July, which means I see them twice this year instead of once. I am beside myself with gratefulness and excitement.

3. The new roof was installed in May thanks to the generosity of my extended family. The kitchen is rain free once more.

4. Lastly, seeing these wishes come true gives me hope that the universe is not all fruitless pursuits and misery. Kindness, generosity, empathy, faith, and love continue to exist. And while those attributes may seem fleeting and dang near unattainable sometimes, we need only recall those times when we took an action to create them or gave up something to receive them.

Happy Solstice!
