With all that is going on around us, times being difficult or for those who are experiencing a tough situation with themselves or family members, I would like to extend a thought for you and all others struggling, at this time, (and always).
For those of you in Australia that are facing drought and hazardous conditions due to the Nino effect, (and all other places on earth and in your homes,) my thoughts and prayers go out for you, as the devastating effects are foremost in your lives right now, whatever is heavy on your hearts. David Drane has made me aware of their plight with a sad way for the baby calves and such as one of the results of the catastrophes.
And, with this in mind, I would like to uphold our prayers and good wishes to our dear friends, Rosemary and Pierre, Jackie's Mom, Jimmy Chatham, Bill Reidel, Troy Haas, and many more not mentioned (due to heartaches that are held privately among themselves.) May all the most wonderful wishes come your way for healing and recovery now, and in the near future. This is my hope that we lean on each other for strength and the Good Lord.

Deb you are such a dear person. Eventhough I have never met most all of those who come to Letterville, it feels as though we actually do know each other. I think of Pierre, Rosemary, Glenn, Jimmy, Bill, Troy, Jackie and many others often. I pray for good health and all the best to them through the holidays and always.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers Deb. Somebody up there must have heard them
Believe it or not, its been raining steadly here for the past 10 hours! Quite heavy at times too. I don't know how wide-spread it is, but by the look of the weathermap in this mornings paper it covers most of the East Coast of Australia
It has certainly put out the last of the bush fires to the East of Toowoomba (no more smoke in town) and laid the dust from the West. This will be one day I don't mind not being able to paint outside!!!!!! Just keep it coming, you can almost hear the earth and people breathe a sigh of relief.
Sue and I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.

Bushie, David, Gail, Devo, BLoke, Rod, and all of you in OZ, I am quite moved by Bushie's post as it was a strong feeling that compelled me to bring that to focus. So glad that I could share my heart and soul with you and all of our dear friends. God speed your healing and bring you the best now and always. And, thanks to all of you who joined in by pen and spirit, privately.
