To my lovely readers, I wanted to write you a short note to thank you for your support this year, and to wish you a very happy Christmas. And for all those folks who don’t celebrate Christmas, I wish you a happy holiday season!
I love Christmas. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I love it because I watch our kids experience joy. I love giving people presents. I love having the Christmas tree in our house, decorated with our favourite decorations, and I love seeing the presents underneath that we’ll be sharing with our friends and family. I love putting carrots and water outside for the reindeers in case they get hungry! It’s still so much fun, even though the kids don’t really believe anymore it’s still something fun we do together. I love that it is a time for kindness and generosity.
I love walking through the department stores and choosing the right gifts for people. I love the hustle and bustle of everyone on a mission to make their Christmas special for themselves and their family and friends.
Christmas always is a time when I reflect on the year, and I think about what I am thankful for.
What are you thankful today?
Have you thought about what you’re thankful for today?
Today is Christmas, and I’m thankful that I spent the day with my family. My parents came over and we exchanged gifts, ate lots of food, and enjoyed each others company.
I am thankful to see my family at Christmas, because I know that not everyboday can. Christmas can be a difficult time for many.
Today I am thankful that the sun is shining, and my kids are happy. I’m thankful that our fridge is full of delicious food to share.
Today I’m also thankful that I got a new laptop for Christmas so I can build my business even more next year.
What are you thankful for in 2018?
Have you thought about what you’re thankful for this year?
There are many things that I’m thankful for in 2018. In no particular order, they are:
- My kids are happy and growing into fine young people
- My family are healthy
- We have a lovely home that is our sanctuary
- I am loved
- I have a small group of friends who are really wonderful people
- I am growing my online business, and I’m thankful that I have my family’s support
- I am still learning new things every day and stretching myself
- My dreams are becoming reality
These are the big things. The things that really matter to me.
One of the things I’m so thankful for is that in 2017 I found a way to change my life. A way to build my dreams, on my terms. It gave me a new set of skills, and a new sense of purpose. A way to have my very own online business, that doesn’t belong to someone else, it belongs to me. And I built it from the ground up. I suprised myself in so many ways when I started my own business! And I can tell you that I never looked back.

Thanks for your website. My 2018 has been a rough year for me. I’ve been in and out of the hospital and going to the nursing home for therapy. All my toes on my right foot has been amputated. My goal for 2019 is to get health. Then start making money online with the business. I’m tired of not making any money. I need to make about $1000 a month.
Hi Roger,
I’m sorry to hear that 2018 has been a rough year for you. I wish you health, happiness and prosperity.
All the very best for a better 2019, and in your pursuit to make money online.
Cheers
