Christmas Cards

I love the tradition of sending Christmas cards each year. To me, it is a simple way to remind people who we've met throughout the years and in different phases of our lives, that we remember them.  It is challenging to remain connected to every single person who has ever made a positive impact in our lives.  However, this one small measure and token of friendship, is so important to fostering a loving network of friends and family.  I realize that everyone does their best to achieve a similar goal with their loved ones, and personal efforts don't always include this tradition, specifically.  However, Christmas cards have proven to be a successful measure for us in reaching out to some of our family that we seldom see, and to friends who have carved out their own legacy within our hearts. 

I'm overwhelmed by the distances that separate us from the people that we love.  This year we mailed over 140 cards, to nine countries (not including the U.S.) representing four continents, and 19 states within the intercontinental United States.  We have family and friends in Italy, Estonia, Austria, England, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile,  South Korea, and Canada, as well as in Montana, Utah, Idaho, New Mexico, North Carolina, Arizona, Oregon, Colorado, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, New York, California, Missouri, Washington, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut.  To all of you: We love you so much.  We want you to know that keeping track of your whereabouts matters so deeply to us!  We are better people because of the influences that each of you have had in our lives.  It is with full hearts that we wish each and every one of you a Christmas season filled with peace, a new year that will bring resolve to your trials, and opportunities that will strengthen your faith.  

Con tanto affetto,
