Your letters are full of wisdom. I am certainly grateful for my mothers and grandmothers who showed me how to love and mother children. It is so true that parenting one child is completely different than parenting the other.

I always value your thoughtful and kind comments, and if I'm ever looking for a good book to read, I just check Goodreads to see what you are reading! It's been especially nice "meeting" you via Zoom for our book discussions. I hope you and your family enjoy a very Merry Christmas and may 2022 bring you wonderful things.

Although our friendship is via the internet, I value it and am grateful for all you share through your blog. These letters have caused me to reflect on what is truly important in life, not just during this season, but all year long. I appreciate the reminder of the hidden blessings related to COVID.

I'm still in the process of raising my one child, but I definitely share your sentiments about being thankful for other mothers and the examples they've set.<br /><br />I also completely agree with you about the unexpected blessing of COVID: a clarification about what is most important in life. There are many things I love and that bring me joy, but more important than anything else is my relationships with others. I am very thankful to have friends like you who are so generous to share their talents and their thoughts. I hope that one day in the not-too-distant future, we can meet in person so we can be real-life friends and not just internet friends.<br /><br />Merry Christmas!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05434256661615289001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-1753189317169583332021-12-24T08:23:40.060-05:002021-12-24T08:23:40.060-05:00These are wonderful letters.

Your letter to covid is spot on as well. We did take a lot for granted when it came to gathering with friends and going places without consideration or fear. I long for those days but fear they will never come back in the same way.Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09438414339444169303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-11027677136181658102021-12-24T07:59:32.861-05:002021-12-24T07:59:32.861-05:00Merry Christmas, Bonny!

I suspect you would have been without guidance, but I am glad you had it.<br />Covid has done the same things to me that it has done to you. Caution is wise, but it also tends to isolate us. My husband and I sit here in this 2 person pod, and I admit that while it has been challenging, it has also shifted some of my priorities for the good. It helps to look for the good when you are being manipulated by events. <br />Oh, your lovely, welcoming, and honest blog! What would I have done without it during this pandemic? I honestly don't know, and I am glad that I didn't have to find out. I am so grateful for your virtual friendship. Thank you, Bonny. Every time you post, remember that you are making positive waves in the universe.becksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147945810663254093noreply@blogger.com
