This is a little Christmas message for all my friends and the people out there who have shown their support this year at a time when I have really needed it!
It's amazing how many people think they know you, but really do they know you? Do they know when your hurting or when you feel let down and when your feeling alone? We all go through life feeling that pain from time to time and some of us hide it well. We are the kind of people that are to proud to ask for help, we are strong on the outside and a world of worry on the inside, we wont speak out as we feel we won't be heard, we face the world with a smile, holding back the pain, it make's us strong people but also foolish ones for not reaching out ... You're not alone! We all have our own problems and each one is different or similar or in some case's the same!
I have learnt with the right friends and support around you then you're not alone! You're only alone if you let that happen! Don't let that happen this Christmas, reach out to the people who want you in their life's and you want in your's. You don't have to be alone in life, it's you and only you who can pick yourself up from the deepest falls! Believe in yourself and the world will believe in you. But you're never alone no matter how much you feel it.
Stay positive this Christmas, don't be afraid of reaching out, we all have to at some point in our life's, I know I have in the past and its the people who have reached back are the one's that truly matter, the rest is negative energy that no one needs in there life's...
I have been very lucky to have good friends in my life and a wonderful Nan, I can't thank them enough for picking me up at the time's I have been down and I have needed them round. Lucky for me my true friends and true family know when I am down and they know when I'm stressed with worry, they know when I'm happy and when I'm sad. Basically they know me as a person! Some of us are not that lucky enough in life and they are alone. If you know someone who is alone or does feel down in anyway, don't turn you're back on them, show them support and compassion, no one has to be alone, people suffer from depression and when they have so much on their mind they will shut themselves away from the outside world, sometimes the world doesn't seem a very nice place to be in! The world is a lovely place to be in if you lose the negativity! Don't be afraid of being afraid, you're human with emotions and feelings, but don't let the bad thoughts ruin your Christmas this year.
I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and the very best for 2013!
Thank you to everyone who have been so supportive this year. You all know who you are and trust me you're all the best! I love you all :)
Merry Christmas!

Darling, thanks so much for this inspirational post! You have truly made my day. I'm very grateful to have you as a friend and appreciate your support. Lots of love, MG ❤
ReplyDeleteThank you M.G for your lovely comment.
DeleteI have learnt in life that special friends always remain in my heart and in my life, I'm proud to say you are one of them friends. You don't have to thank me for the support, it works both ways, what are friends for.
I'm glad I have made your day 'Smiles' like I said it works both ways and you have just made mine :)
Huge hugs to you and a huge Merry Christmas Xx

My pleasure Rich, there has been so much going on this year its been unreal and I haven't been around as much as I should have been, but my chin is up and I'm smiling, that's the main thing.
DeleteI will toast to friendship and a successful 2013!
Thank you for your comment.
Merry Christmas my friend :)
Merry Christmas, Kevin -- Boy, what an up and down toss-up of a year. I wish for more in balance next year for you and everyone possessed by his or her own writing demons - I've got several to loan out if anyone wants one -- Mahetabel likes writers who procrastinate the best ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Justin. One day I hope to find this balance, in the mean time these demons can try and hold me back, but all they're doing is giving me another story!
DeleteThank you so much for the support you have given me over the time I have known you. Your a great guy and I will pass on loaning your demons I have more than enough, but thanks for the offer!
I'm wishing you the very best for 2013.
Merry Christmas :)
Wonderful words from a beautiful soul. Merry Christmas my darling friend <3
ReplyDeleteHelle you are truly a breath of fresh air and I am thankful you are in my life. You are so supportive towards everyone and that to me shines right through you! It takes a wonderful soul to spot another and trust me I have spotted :)
DeleteThank you for the kind comment, I wish you the very best for 2013 my friend. Keep smiling :)Xx
Very uplifting post Kevin... Have a very happy holiday and wonderful New Year.
ReplyDeleteJaime Smith
Thank you Jamie for your comment and for taking the time to read my post, I'm glad you found it uplifting, for me everything has to come from the heart and when the heart speaks I write :)
DeleteI wish you the very best for 2013. Happy holidays :)
Beautiful my friend! Thank you for your friendship! Wishing you a Very Merry Christmas and may your fondest dreams become your reality in 2013.
ReplyDeleteSweet Belinda :) You're most welcome! Its me that should be thanking you! No thanks needed I assure you. You're a true friend and a true inspiration, you are a huge rock of support to me and you always have been. Its fantastic how we have connected and became good friends. you have believed in me and my work since day one and again lifted me when I have been down. I wish you the very best for 2013 and like all my friends you are on my to meet list :) Happy holidays Xx
DeleteThank you for this wonderful post my lovely... You're a true friend and one of my special ones too. Like Vickie said above one day we should get together and have a drink to real friends who in the end become are family. Love to you Kevin xoxox
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Dawn, that's lovely. I know the meaning of friendship and I feel proud to have your friendship. You're a fantastic lady who has been there for me since my first tweets! I love twitter and Facebook for that you get to interact with some of the best and becoming great friends is a huge plus.
DeleteAs for the meeting up for a drink, what can I say other than where when and time :)
Merry Christmas Sweetie. May all your dreams come true in 2013 :)I'm sending my love to you also Xx
I'm very glad we added each other on Facebook, Kevin. It's been fun getting to know you better!
ReplyDeleteHi Ben, thank you so much for your comment and for reading my post. Its a pleasure to meet you and connecting on Facebook is awesome. Its always great to meet other people with a great sense of humor, its only then I feel sane :)I wish you the very best for 2013, happy holidays my friend.
DeleteMerry Christmas, Kevin :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I found the most amazing friends I've ever had since I joined the writing community. They changed my perspective on humanity :) Real friends are the best!
Nice to meet you Emailman. Thank you for your comment and for following my blog, its much appreciated, I look forward interacting with you.
DeleteI would have to agree with what you have said, since I started writing I have met the most wonderful people that I am proud to call good friends. Each and everyone of them have opened my eyes so much in many different and wonderful ways. I never looked at life thinking I could be an inspiration to others. I never thought my down falls and crazy life would lift peoples spirits, but It does and its the wonderful people that I have met and also my readers that have made my talent for words shine. With true friends you will always shine no matter what and its not just about the writing, but with out their support I wouldn't be here now. They bought the confidence back at the times when it was drained from me, they have shown me what matters and what doesn't. They have definitely changed my perspective on humanity that's for sure and its all good.
Thanks again. I wish you the very best for 2013 :)
Merry Christmas, Kevin!! :))
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with us your beautiful thoughts. Holy words from a true heart! Tons of Blessings and Love to You! XX
Merry Christmas to you Thitia. Thank you for dropping by with your kind words. I must admit it all did come from the heart. As usual, I have learnt in life if you keep things in to long its like a pan on the boil waiting for the lid to come off. I know this because I speak from experience and it isn't a nice feeling. I'm happy to say that there are no more lids ready to come off anymore just good friends that I treasure in my heart. It's like Dawn said, your friends become your family and in my case they have and I am truly grateful for that.
ReplyDeleteI wish you the very best for 2013.
Thanks again my friend :)
Happy holidays to you my friend :)
ReplyDeleteWe've spent 20123 getting to know each other (virtually) and I have come to know you as a hard working, fun loving pure soul who always has something nice to say.
I admire that.
My wish for you is that 2013 brings with it lots of love, health and good fortune and drops it at your feet because you are so deserving of something good happening to you!
Bear hugs for you!
Thank you Minnie :)
DeleteI must admit all these kind words are lifting my spirits up that's for sure. Its been a tough year with still many challenges yet to come as you know :( 'Kev turn that frown back upside down :)' Whatever life has to chuck at me, I know my friends are behind me, all I have to do is reach out, its my true friends that have kept me going this year and yes you are on that friendship list. Its been wonderful getting to know you over the last year.
It takes a good soul to recognize another good soul and yes I do recognize you! I will do a toast to a better year than this! What? I'm not greedy :)
I wish you the very very best for 2013!
Sending Bear hugs back but I do hope there not as hard as yours! I still have the scratches :)
Happy New Year X
*2012
ReplyDeleteA well written and inspiring piece of literature Kevin. I love the positive message behind this. I can also relate to it. We all get down in the dumps now and then, and it is good to know that we are not alone, and have people around us who love us. And that we can also be their to support them, as well. Bravo! Regards Paul
ReplyDeleteThank you Paul for your comment and the kind words, and for also following my blog, its much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteWhen I write it has to come from the heart and how the heart is feeling at the time. I have hit every obstacle this year and none of it has been good. I know how horrid it feels when you feel alone. I can relate to most problems in life and I give good advice, but this year has been a time I have needed that advice and the true meaning of friendship has shone through, with many wonderful people that I am proud to call friends.
I wanted to just write how I feel and if this post can touch just one person and make them look at life in a different way, then my time writing this was worth it.
I know we tweet on twitter and I do value your support it goes a long way with me. I was just reading your post and one quote along many stood out to me 'Sometimes we need to take the bull by the horns and just go for it, despite our original fears' I can relate to that in so many ways. I found your post very inspiring also :)
I look forward interacting more but until then I hope all your dreams will come true in the New Year.
All the best Kev :)
Great post, Kev. You're the best and wishing all your dreams come true, brother. (((BIG HUGS )))
ReplyDeleteThank you M G
ReplyDeleteI do ditto that for you to :) Your the best Sis I could ask for ;)
((Huge hugs back to you)Xx
