A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR...........To all my dear blogging friends and others who have stopped by to read ‘Reflection through the Seasons’

My blog is just a year old and I am so appreciative of all the comments left to my postings and the good friendships that I have subsequently made along the way. I have enjoyed writing my postings and I hope that I have given an enjoyable glimpse of how my corner of the world looks.

I have to say that blogging has enriched my life in many way, not only with valued friendships, it has afforded me the opportunity to take a peek into the lives of people in far away places, that otherwise I never would have encountered, as well as that, I have been inspired by the creativity of so many of you, this in turn, has encouraged me to pursue new interests and crafts too.

Please join me as I raise my glass and welcome in 2007 and I look forward to the year ahead being further enriched with your friendship.

Marion, The moments of Christmas have come and gone, how sad it is for me to have not had the time to visit many of my dear new friends or to send them my very good wishes and cheer of the season.

But as per my blog the sadness filled my heart more then you could imagine so sending good cheer was a hard thing to do.

I now sit here with the hope that this coming year brings friendship from around the world closer and that it fills the heart with joy knowing you all the way down here in Australia.

blessing to you and your family for the year 2007 and beyond.

I will visit now some of your back blog posts to share your beautiful christmas photos and all.

Dear Marion!

Happy New Year to you as well! May all your wished for 2007 come true (especially on your health)!

And remember: "Never end a wish without whispering 'I belive'... and make the new year your dream-come-true-year"

Many greetings from rainy Germany!
