Thank You Emila

Today was very special for me because of one very special friend, Emila Yusof! November was the worst month I have ever had…I have been unable to get my spirits high enough to even write a post. I have had such a tough time feeling any joy, and Emila really brought me up!

I went to the post office to pick up a package, which is for me, not something I do very often. This might sound really pathetic, but I haven’t received a gift from hardly anyone in several years.

I have had so many people continue to come here, some every day…even though I haven’t been writing or reading any blogs lately. I thrive on inspiration, communication and passion. Having said that, I feel like I have been lacking in all three departments. I place the blame on myself.

I needed a nudge to get my spirits up…ok, I REALLY needed a nudge. I had to take these pictures with my webcam …I am so embarrassed!!!!

THANK YOU EMILA!!!!!! You made me so happy :mrgreen:
I was pretty much in tears when I saw the mug. I can’t believe Emila made a personal mug just for me. It was one of the most wonderful gifts I have ever received :smile: I will always treasure it and keep it safe! This could not have happened at a better time and I am still feeling surprised.

Emila is such a giving person, always doing nice things for people. She is someone I look up to as representing the best a human being can be. I am truly humbled by her generosity and very proud to be her friend.

We are into the holiday season and for many of us, it can be lonely. If any of you get depressed or feel down, I am here for you. I will talk to you. I wish all of you happy holidays!

    Emila rocks! How cute is that mug?! I hope the good mood stays with you now…it can be hard to stay cheerful at this time of year but things like that can really reinforce the fact that friends are all around. :grin:

    OMG, Emilia, what a sweet thing to to!! Many blessings to you!

    Bobbby, you’re completely right, when depression is already there, this month really, really sucks..
    But, it will be over in a couple of weeks, with the start of a brand new year..
    So Bobby, many happy wishes for the holidays to you too! You really are such a sweet guy, I wholeheartedly wish next year will bring you the love, inspiration and passion you deserve!

    Take care!

    How lovely of Emila to send you one of her creations..now we are both keepers of one of her amazing mugs,lol !I will think of you,Bobby,when I gaze at my Mariuca Mug and will send you lots of good wishes.
    Its perfectly ok to just rest up from blogging when you need to.It can become an exhausting job (ask me, I know) …but when we come back to it,the Blogosphere will still be there…take your own time.
    When friends do something sweet like this,it gives such a positive feeling to ones outlook…hey and the sketch Emila did is quite a good likeness as well.
    have a wonderful day :)

    The picture really looks like you. You should take care. It appears that you have slimmed down quite a bit.

    Hi Bobby!

    Sorry I haven’t stopped by much lately, but I’m glad to see you are feeling better. I think it is sad that the holidays can be such a hard time for so many people. I seriously believe there should be more services available for the many people alone on the holidays.

  19. Revellian on December 14th, 2007 2:09 am

    Hi Aaron! For me…extremely awesome :smile:

  20. Revellian on December 14th, 2007 2:11 am

    Thanks Clairec23! It’s so awesome…I cannot believe it!!! I have been really busy lately which is actually why I haven’t been blogging :smile:

  21. Revellian on December 14th, 2007 2:13 am

    Thanks Anonymous…I will make this year my best!! It is a wonderful mug…my treasure forever :smile:

  22. Revellian on December 14th, 2007 2:16 am

  23. Revellian on December 14th, 2007 2:19 am

    Hi Jesse!!! I didn’t win a contest but it sure is nice to receive this gift!!!! I am the luckiest guy in the world :mrgreen:
    It’s nice to see you :smile:

  24. Revellian on December 14th, 2007 2:21 am

    I moderate comments so they don’t show up ’till later. I actually go through all spam to retrieve any good comments…but your comment worked just fine! :wink:

  25. Revellian on December 14th, 2007 2:24 am

    Thanks Andy!!! I am very rested and feeling good. I think it’s important for me to not feel like I have to blog daily. Blogging has been a stress reliever and I finally feel stress free here! :mrgreen: I love my gift :razz:

  26. Revellian on December 14th, 2007 2:36 am

    I’m glad I didn’t give up too!!!! I do feel really well!!! Thanks Diamondssaphire :mrgreen:

  27. Revellian on December 14th, 2007 2:39 am

    Hi Janice!!! It certainly made me smile…that is really what I needed!!! I don’t think I’ll be drinking out of it, but I will have it on display right next to my computer screen :mrgreen:

  28. Revellian on December 14th, 2007 3:02 am

    Thanks Bobo!!!! You brighten my day too :mrgreen:

  29. Revellian on December 14th, 2007 3:04 am

    Hi Karen!!! It should look like me…hehe :mrgreen: I haven’t slimmed down at all…I have been eating like a horse :shock:

  30. Revellian on December 14th, 2007 3:07 am

    Thanks Loz!!! I haven’t been generous in a while…this certainly reminds me how great you and everyone else really are. I must go be generous now :mrgreen:

  31. Revellian on December 14th, 2007 3:11 am

    Hi Brown Baron…I think I have come to the conclusion that I was never burned out from blogging…I was just burned out. I think everyone should take care of themselves and loved ones and just use blogging as the icing on the cake of life. Wow…I think I need a big slice of cake now…hehe :mrgreen:

  32. Revellian on December 14th, 2007 4:52 am

    Thanks Jean :smile: I love my mug!!! I’ll get a good camera soon. I actually had a really expensive one but a so-called friend stole it from me :shock:

  33. Revellian on December 14th, 2007 4:55 am

    An award? Thanks Jean :smile: I’ll come see :razz:

  34. Revellian on December 14th, 2007 4:58 am

    Hi Sara!!! haha…I haven’t visited anyone. I needed a break from everything. This holiday season will be good! Thanks and Merry X-mas :mrgreen:

  35. WaterLearner on December 14th, 2007 9:02 am
