@Enemoriana Fine and Beautiful work! The furnishings are splendid, and the statue is a true prize. My thanks to you!

As the curtain draws closed on this years new life festival and this extraordinary community event I wanted to once more give my most heartfelt thanks to @Aliyavana for hosting each year and to all of you beautiful people who get involved.

We, all of us, struggle in our own way. For me this event has become a part of my healing and preparing to face the new year. From writing the years New Life poem to putting together the little gift bags I send along with it, accepting so many wonderful gifts myself and most dearly reading the thank you messages I receive in turn.

Sometimes in those little messages we share things about our lives with each other. Those connections no matter how brief can mean a great deal and though what was said (or inferred) will always remain private I would like to step somewhat outside my bounds and give one last special shout out to 2 people...


If anyone has anything at all left in the Tank after so much generosity this year I suspect those two people would particularly appreciate receiving some kind words and or nice gifts (I hope they will forgive me boosting their names here).

Once again I have managed to send out my small gift bags and new life greetings to everyone from PC / NA who posted in this thread, I hope my packages found you all well.
