OldTroubador's blog post - December

The roads of life are littered with good intentions. I had meant to note the observance of Hanukkah here last week when it started, but....So to my friends who celebrated the Festival of Lights, I offer belated, but sincere wishes for a happy Hanukkah. Shalom, my friends.
It is also Christmas Eve. For all my friends who celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas to you.
We all have a holiday wish list of gifts we would like to receive. Here is mine:
For my friends who had a great 2014, may the year 2015 be even better for you and your families.
For my friends who will remember 2014 as a year of loss and pain, may you find more than an equal share of happiness in the coming year, and may the pain of loss soon lessen to a fond rememberance of those who have passed on.
And for all my friends: May 2015 be a year of health and wealth, a year of enjoying old friends and finding new. May the year bring you joy and love. And may the blessings of this holiday season be yours now and in time everlasting.
As for me, all I want is to continue this asphalt life, riding high on the highways and by-ways of this great land. And with apologies to Edgar Allan Poe:
Over the mountains of the Moon, Down the valley of the shadow, soar Freebird soar, in search of El Dorado.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays to all!!!!
