I thought of all the things I wanted for Christmas this year and only one gift really stood out.  A gift that will never wear out, break down or get old but one that grows more beautiful every day and one whose worth really cannot be measured except by the heart.  This gift is one that never expires but maintains its brilliance day after day, year after year.  It has many uses from encouragement and support during the hard times and laughter and smiles during the good times; it's a gift filled with love, appreciation, and care and a gift that forever lives on in one's heart.  What is this truly special gift?  It is the gift of your friendship that means so much to me and that I am so blessed to be able to receive, one I hold close to my heart because in my life, you, my friend, play such an important part :).  Merry Christmas!

how far we get in life determines how much we believe in ourselves, how hard we're willing to work, and our attitude towards life and the things we go through
