This post is primarily for
Renee but also, for anyone else needing some love or support at Christmas. It's a difficult time of year if you have worries or struggles, especially when all around us we are told we must be happy and rejoice. It's not always that easy to enjoy the season and there is nothing wrong with us if we want to have a good moan, cry or have a thoroughly Scroogy moment (or two). But Christmas for me isn't just about religion, be it Christian or Pagan or any other. It's about giving of our time and our love and sharing ourselves with others and letting them know that we love them.
Originally this painting was for a friend's wedding, but it made me think of Renee as Sarah often calls her a Swan, and the celtic design symbolises our lives entwined. We all touch each others lives when we write on each others blogs and I've discovered a great community of like minded people, some have become great friends that I feel I've known all my life.
Lets send some Christmas love and wishes out to everyone, whether they are friends or not, but especially those who could do with a hug right now.

A very nice thought Yarrow and a beautiful design.

A Merry Christmas to you and yours, and may the year to come bring you happiness :)
This symbol is beautiful - so gentle.
Lovely words too Kim, and kind of echoes much of my thinking this year. There are so many people who need support at Christmas time.
Hope you have a peaceful & happy few days with your family & animals.

Yes, I did, Renee, thank you, despite a couple of near disasters! :)
Near disasters aren't quite real disasters so that is a good thing.
I hope they were disasters like the meat almost got burned to a crisp kind of disaster.
xoxoxo
Ha ha! Took forever to cook more like!!! I'll write in more detail soon, promise :)
That picture is beautiful indeed! And I totally agree...love is the most important thing to give at xmas.
For me it's a time to enjoy some peace & allow yourself to just 'be'.
