I've added two new entries on my Holiday Card list.

Normally, it includes only people I know personally.

Oh, I do send holiday greetings for business contacts, etc., but not snail-mail cards, with hand-written stuff in them.

This year, though, I'm adding two entries, for people I've never met, personally.

But they've made an enormous contribution to my life.

And I'm grateful.

And I want them to know.

The Obamas.

And the Bidens.

I know they'll probably never have a chance to actually READ my card, or the messages I'll write in them... the White House, and Blair House, must get hundreds of thousands of cards. I hope so. I would love it if they were simply inundated with loving greetings this holiday season. Afloat in a sea of warm and grateful messages.

Perhaps a staffer will add mine to the total of "greetings received" on the day they arrive, maybe even pass along a word or two in a summary or however they do it.

But it means a lot to me to let them know what they've done for me. How I've been inspired by them. How proud I am of them. How much I wish them well.

So, yeah.

Two more stamps.

determinedly,
Bright

I figure the month of February is deep into winter, and by this time, we all need a little love. I think sending to the Obamas and Bidens would be a wonderful idea. Thanks for sharing.
